VENEZUELA MEXICO RELATIONS HIGHLIGHTED (REFORM 9) (EL UNIVERSAL 10) The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs of Venezuela, Elias Jaua Milano, said the relationship between Mexico and Venezuela is already normalized. After an official visit that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs qualified as a relaunch of bilateral relations, the South American Chancellor said the approach came with the election of Enrique Peña Nieto as President. The Government of Venezuela expects to settle the dispute with the Mexican company Grupo Maseca (Gruma), which was expropriated in 2010 and filed an arbitration claim with the World Bank last June. Chancellor Elías Jaua assured that they never acted in an effort to affect Mexicans, but this was because of a Venezuelan partner who had engaged in malicious acts against the Boliviarian Republic. “We have proposed, in agreement with Gruma to constitute a joint venture between Venezuelan shares and the shares of the Mexican company. It is a process that has been delayed but that the President (Nicolas) Maduro has instructed the financial vice-president, Rafael Ramirez, to resolve the issue the end of this year,” he affirmed.

HALFHEARTED RESULTS (EXPANSION 110) One year before NAFTA, Mexico exported US $63 million more in agricultural products that it imported. Trade liberalization increased the food supply available in Mexico, says Luis de la Calle, a member of the team involved in the NAFTA negotiations and co-author of the Clasemediero [Middle Classism] book. “Large companies flush with capital go to foreign markets or integrate consolidation processes, probably through of expanding even before then,” said Banorte analyst Marisol Huerta. “But NAFTA helped them achieve their goals as they joined the globalization discourse.” The Bimbo baking company and tortilla maker Gruma expanded to the United States and are now considered true multinationals.

INSUFFICIENT DEFENSES (PODER Y NEGOCIOS 66-67)People gradually stop buying expendable goods in an economic downturn, but still consume basic products, such as bread and tortillas. Production of basic food consumption holds certain anti-crisis defenses. Return on invested capital (ROIC) of the global average of all companies comprising this supply chain did not decline in 2009, the year of the great global economic recession. On the contrary, it had a slight increase: it went from 11.7% in 2008 to 12.7% in 2009 (an increase driven by bakeries and confectioneries, because there was a drop in the mills), according to calculations made using data from S&P Capital IQ. Following global averages, industry profits in Latin America fell between 2009 and 2013, from 14% to 7%, and an example was Bimbo, whose ROIC rate fell from 12% to 7% in that period. Gruma however, it was one of the few companies considered to be in the middle of the region that increased its ROI from 8.3% in 2009 to 8.9% in the last 12 months reported in 2013.

WORKING TO END PREJUDICE AGAINST IMMIGRANTS, NORMA ROMERO (EL FINANCIERO 2-37) “It is an honor, it is truly beautiful, I really did not expect it, but the prize is not for me, I dedicate it to immigrants and their right to life.” This was Norma Romero Vásquez’s exciting reaction when the CNDH informed her that she had won the 2013 National Human Rights Award for her outstanding track record in effectively promoting and protecting the human rights of immigrants, as the coordinator of the Las Patronas (The Females Bosses) humanitarian group that receives aid from several universities like the Ibero and the Universidad Veracruzana who come to see the project and then help us raise money.

It is a true group endeavor.

DOES THE MEXICAN STOCK EXCHANGE (BMV) OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY? (MEXICO FORBES 160) The Mexico Moment was experienced by the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV): an instant.

Its performance in October was negative at around 6% in U.S. Dollars.

RAFAEL URQUÍA / FAMILY ADVICE (EL ECONOMISTA 17) This has not been the year of the emerging markets, including the Latin American region. Until the end of October, the MSCI Latam Index was down 9.0% against the 16.6% growth recorded in global markets and the even higher 23.1% rate reported by the S&P 500 (all profits mentioned in this article are in U.S. dollars with figures through October, unless stated otherwise). Growth forecasts for the region were revised downward throughout the year as a result of a variety of factors, including certain missteps in government actions. People who view the region through indexes lose sight of the fact that some shares have reported extraordinary gain and actually surpassed many companies listed on the S&P 500. Some examples include Gruma, the leading corn flour producer in North America with its 126.5% yield; Panama’s low cost carrier Copa, with 51.2%, and Brazil company Kroton with 33.0%.
