Leasing Opportunities in Mexico

By Rafael Castillo-Triana and Ulises Quezada
April 02, 2015

In the last two years, Mexico has emerged as the economic star of Latin America. While Brazil's slowing economic growth decelerated to recession, Mexico rebounded with solid prospects. This relative prosperity makes Mexico an attractive emerging market for companies involved in international equipment financing. In fact, the country's equipment financing market is already well-developed by regional standards, and is the second largest in Latin America. The predominant assets financed in Mexico include motor vehicles, information technology (IT) and industrial equipment.

We believe that the most comprehensive source of information about the Mexican equipment leasing industry comes from our company, The Alta Group Latin American Region (www.theAltagroup.com/latin-america/), which has been compiling data about the leasing industry in Latin America for over a decade. This data is posted under the Alta LAR 100 series of publications (http://bit.ly/1yMKzhg) and has been used in preparation of this article.
