VOICED : Economia Mexico crece en segundo trimestre

The Mexican economy grew by 1.6% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, slightly exceeding expectations. The service sector showed significant dynamism, contributing to the growth. The government projected a 2.7% growth for 2014, higher than the 30-year average but lower than the initial forecast. Despite strong US growth and increased government spending, these factors did not significantly boost Mexico's economy. Future growth is expected due to improvements in the US economy and infrastructure projects. President Enrique Peña Nieto anticipates further economic recovery through structural reforms, particularly in the energy sector.
