Mexico Growth to Slow Without Antitrust Measures (Update1)
Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A By Jens Erik Gould

May 19 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican antitrust chief Eduardo Perez Motta said failure to pass measures to increase competition in industries dominated by few companies would slow the country’s growth to the “mediocre” levels of previous years.

Latin America’s second-largest economy may expand as much as 5 percent this year after shrinking the most since 1932 last year, according to central bank estimates. Before the global financial crisis, annual growth in Mexico averaged 2.4 percent from 2001 to 2008, compared with 3.7 percent in Brazil, according to the International Monetary Fund.

“Growth in recent years has been mediocre,” Perez Motta said in an interview in the Mexico City offices of Bloomberg News. “In order to maintain the growth that will happen this year, we require competition.”

Mexico’s lack of competition curbs job creation and economic growth by keeping prices for telecommunications and other utilities higher than in Latin American countries such as Brazil, according to the World Bank. Proposals to boost competition would affect companies such as America Movil SAB, which serves more than 70 percent of Mexican mobile-phone users.

A bill approved last month by the lower house of congress that seeks to beef up the power of Perez Motta’s Federal Competition Commission has yet to come to a vote in Mexico’s Senate. The measure would allow the commission to impose bigger fines on companies that collude on prices. The fines could amount to as much as 10 percent of the revenue the companies report in Mexico. The antitrust agency can currently fine companies a maximum of about 82 million pesos ($6.38 million).

‘Clearly Worse’

“In everything that has to do with competition, Mexico is clearly worse not only than developed countries but than other emerging countries in Latin America,” Jorge Sicilia, chief economist for the U.S. and Mexico at BBVA Bancomer in Mexico City, told reporters today. “Any measure to favor competition would lead us and possibly many analysts to elevate the potential growth of Mexico.”

Mexico is ranked 60th among 133 world economies on competition measures, behind Indonesia and Azerbaijan, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2009-2010 Global Competitiveness Report.

Perez Motta said that a proposal by Manlio Fabio Beltrones, head of the Institutional Revolutionary Party in the Senate, to replace him and his fellow commissioners all at once would jeopardize the agency’s independence and politicize it.

“This would make the agency more subject to decisions of a political character,” Perez Motta said.

Fining Drugmakers

The antitrust agency plans to issue in four to six weeks a final decision on fines for Eli Lilly & Co., Baxter International Inc. and four other drugmakers after the commission found they had colluded from 2003 to 2006 to keep prices high on sales to Mexico’s social security agency, Perez Motta said.

The commission may modify its Feb. 23 decision to fine the companies 21.5 million pesos ($1.67 million) apiece after the firms appealed to the commission to reconsider the ruling, he said.

The peso fell 0.9 percent to 12.8645 per dollar at 4:12 p.m. New York time from 12.7450 yesterday.

Sorpresa de Japon, su economia crecio mucho mas que los tres previos trimestres o 4.9%, la mayor parte del crecimiento vino de las exportaciones. De todas maneras fue menor a lo esperado por los economistas.

La economia de Singapore subio 38.6%, este tiene que ser el mayor crecimiento en el mundo.

Siempre han estado asi esas dos koreas, si se hubieran destruido hace tiempo no seguiriamos teniendo estos incidentes cada año. Ademas, oficialmente siguen en guerra.

Grecia nuevamente mostrando sus episodios en las calles, los huelguistas manifestando contra el gobierno en sus plazas.

El VIX arriba de 35 nuevamente y podria seguir subiendo.

Europa sin credibilidad, no hay plan de accion, solo manotazos de ahogados.

El analisis de los especialistas muestra que los que realmente mueven el mercado de las monedas en el mundo no son los hedge funds ni los especuladores si no los bancos centrales, ellos desde el anio pasado uno a uno han reducido sus posiciones y exposicion al euro. Ejemplos son Iran, Rusia, China, Korea, etc.

El problema mas serio es no que los bancos centrales vendan o no el dolar si no el simpre hecho de que ya no compren euros esta haciendo que el euro siga bajando y la tendencia continua.

El peligro es Alemania, si Alemania, dice vota con sus pies y sale de la zona euro, nadie se quiere quedar con una moneda que no va a valer nada. Realmente es una tragedia para el euro lo que esta ocurriendo mucho mas grave de lo que todos nos podiamos haber imaginado.

Por otro lado no hay Bernanke, ni su fortaleza ni sus decisiones tan acertadas durante la crisis para contener el danio. Cuando Bernanke anuncio las medidas cuantitativas el mundo sabia que iban a funcionar, eso no ocurre en Europa, todos se preguntan que espera esa zona para reaccionar.

Preocupante como libor sigue subiendo ya esta en 0.48% hace unos meses estaba en menos de 0.30% esto indica que los bancos no se huelen pero no se prestan dinero y que se necesita mas dolares. Puede ser el prinicipio de un congelamiento. Esperemos que no.
