Live | ‘No Money’ Forum: The Mexican economy tested in an uncertain and changing world

The new US tariff policy and its effects on the Mexican economy will be some of the central topics of the eighth edition of the No Money Forum: The transformation of cash, organized by EL PAÍS and BBVA. At this year’s event, which will be held this Wednesday, the future of the finances of a growing Mexico that needs to work on reducing its social gap in a context plagued by volatility will be debated. The BBVA Tower will be the setting for a meeting that will feature the participation of Carlos Serrano, chief economist of BBVA, Ignacio Aguado, general director of Innovation, Services and Internal Trade of the Ministry of Economy, and Julen Berasaluce, researcher at the College of Mexico (Colmex), under the moderation by Valeria Moy, general director of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO). In addition, the economist Gerardo Esquivel, who was deputy governor of the Bank of Mexico from 2019 to 2022, will be in charge of analyzing the future of the Mexican economy in the face of such a changing world. In a country in which remittances received in 2023 represented 3.7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policy and the tax on remittances recently approved by the US Government represent a challenge for the Mexican economy that will be discussed in a panel made up of Gretchen Kuhner, director of the Institute for Women in Migration, Jesús Cervantes González, director of Economic Statistics of the Center for Latin American Monetary Studies (CEMLA), and Ryan Antonia Newton, founder and CEO of Paisa.
