| Summary: | The World Bank interviewed a
representative sample of the private sector in 8 of the most
active economic regions in Mexico. The sample consisted of
1480 business establishments surveyed from August 2010
through June 2011. The enterprise survey covers several
topics of the business environment as well as performance
measures for each firm. This report presents following
highlights from the survey: Mexican firms added jobs at over
5 percent but saw only modest gains in sales and
productivity; however, productivity growth was due to gains
from Mexico's small firms; Mexican firms cite
informality, tax rates, access to finance, and crime as top
obstacles; a greater proportion of Mexican firms face
competition from the informal sector; Mexican firms exhibit
lower levels of access to financial intermediation; and
while losses due to crime in Mexico are high significantly
fewer firms actually pay for security. |
