The Monaco Economic Board (MEB) recently hosted its latest “Business Destination” conference, turning the spotlight on Mexico, Latin America’s second-largest economy.

Held in Monaco, the event highlighted Mexico’s vast economic potential, diverse sectors, and strategic position as a global trade hub, making it an attractive prospect for Monegasque entrepreneurs.

Mexico’s geographical advantage was a key focus of the discussion. Situated between the United States and Canada, the country benefits from access to one of the world’s largest markets while maintaining business-friendly legislation. This unique position has solidified Mexico as a growing economic power, currently ranked as the 11th largest commercial entity worldwide with a steadily increasing GDP.

Speakers at the conference emphasized Mexico’s diversified economy, offering opportunities across logistics, international trade, raw materials, and tourism. With shared values and synergies between Mexican industries and Monaco’s small and medium-sized enterprises, the event opened doors for potential collaborations in various fields.

Mexico’s resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic was also noted. Unlike many countries, Mexico avoided nationwide lockdowns, allowing businesses to thrive amidst global economic challenges. This adaptability and the country’s reputation for hard-working, team-oriented professionals make it a promising destination for investment.

The conference concluded with remarks from the Mexican Ambassador, whose presence underscored the potential for deeper bilateral ties. Plans for an economic mission to Mexico, possibly taking place next year, were hinted at, signaling an exciting new chapter in Monaco-Mexico relations.

With its strong economic growth, skilled workforce, and inviting business environment, Mexico presents a compelling “new Eldorado” for Monaco’s entrepreneurial community.
