As much as an additional 2.5 percentage points of estimated growth could be generated in the Mexican economy by bringing competitive practices. This includes introducing competition and lowering prices in sectors ranging from telecom, transportation to banking. The most glaring example is the telecom monopoly in Mexico. Mexico's Competition Commission and the OECD study estimates about one third of Mexcan household purchases are made in monopolisic or oligopolistic sectors. Other areas for change to generate this additional growth are the oil sector, electricity, and labor laws. The Pact for Mexico signed by all of the major political parties is designed to make these changes after decades of slow GDP growth.

The challenges facing Calderon as he tries to reshape the economy of Mexico.

The Mexican economy is expected to see a GDP decline of nearly 7% in 2009. With the serious downturn in the auto industry and in other industries, serious problems with monopolistic firms and high prices in the telecom sector, underinvestment in the oil sector, and the impact of the war on drug cartels, one expert says its surprising that Calderon is still fighting all these battles.
