Mexican Economy Holds Growth Amid Inflation Pressures
Mexico's 1970 economy grew slightly above 6 percent despite inflation. Living costs rose about 3 percent under new minimum wages and pricier imports from the United States. Manufacturing, construction, mining, and power generation advanced while agriculture fell about 2 percent. The balance of payments remained unfavourable due to exports lagging and imports rising. Tourism, the key foreign-exchange source, grew modestly, and manufactured exports surpassed 40 percent of total. The govt funds support producers expanding abroad, with foreign capital inflows around 220 million dollars. President-elect Echeverria vows agricultural emphasis and private-enterprise aid to create half a million jobs annually.
