Mexican Optimism and Economic Reality: An Analysis of the Mexican Industrial Development Plan
Abstract
The publication of the Plan Nacional de Desarrollo Industrial in
March 1979 clarified and structured Mexico's oil-based development strategy.
The initial reaction to the industrial plan was gen,erally good in
business circles because it helped to reduce uncertainty about the future,
but the industrial strategy has been questioned by different groups because
of the overall ideological orientation and role of the government in the
economy espoused by each. A more fundamental criticism of the plan can
be raised, however, from a purely technical point of view. As the paper
demonstrates, the plan is weak in its identification of several key economic
relationships, makes unrealistic assumptions about certain exogenous
factors and could be considerably improved upon at little cost or loss of
goal attainment simply through rescheduling of several of its key expenditure
streams.
