Toward a More Competitive Business Environment

Strengthening competition and streamlining key regulations for firms are key to increasing Mexico's competitiveness. Firm-level productivity and business entry for formal enterprises in Mexico are low relative to international peers. Factors that hinder productivity include concentrated markets with dominant firms in strategic sectors and lack of effective pro-competition regulations, both of which increase the price of inputs and reduce the overall economy's competitiveness. Furthermore, cumbersome business regulations hinder connectivity to electricity, registration of new businesses, and enforcement of contracts and increase the cost of formally employing workers.
