  "account": "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has urged Mexico to intensify its efforts to reduce its debt trajectory, despite ongoing fiscal consolidation in 2026. This recommendation came following an Article IV consultation mission to Mexico City in September. The IMF has projected Mexico's economy to grow by 1.5% in 2026 and 1.8% in 2027, however, this expansion is primarily hindered by external uncertainties. The organization is advocating for the monetary policy to maintain a moderately tight stance to ensure disinflation. While headline inflation is currently near the central bank's target, certain underlying price pressures persist. To facilitate growth-enhancing investment, the IMF suggests enhancing revenue mobilization, improving spending prioritization, and fostering greater involvement of the private sector. The financial system of Mexico is deemed robust by the IMF. Furthermore, the organization emphasizes the need for better anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing frameworks, deeper financial intermediation, and measures to elevate potential growth in Mexico. These include closing infrastructure gaps, reducing regulatory burdens, strengthening trade integration, improving security, tackling corruption, and decreasing informality.",
