Nearly 2.93 million Mexican jobs are at risk of being impacted by generative AI, according to a recent study by Mexico, ¿Cómo Vamos? The analysis evaluates occupations by breaking them down into individual tasks and assessing which could be performed or assisted by AI. Medium or high exposure is classified as roles where a significant portion of routine tasks could be automated or augmented.
The gender disparity is notable, with 1.87 million women and 1.06 million men exposed, reflecting the overrepresentation of women in clerical and administrative roles. The study emphasizes that exposure does not equate to job loss, but rather to tasks being reframed or augmented. For employers, job descriptions will need to evolve, while workers should focus on task-level skills rather than job titles.
Meanwhile, the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) is considering 24-hour trading to align with international markets like London. This structural change could affect liquidity, volatility, and operational risk, requiring adjustments in clearing, settlement, and market-making. While the timeline and full rationale remain uncertain, the move signals Mexico's readiness for a more globalised, always-on trading environment.
Both developments underscore Mexico's adaptability in a rapidly evolving technological and financial landscape.
