Mexico's Finance Secretary Γ‰dgar Amador Zamora expressed confidence that the ongoing Middle East conflict will have only short-term economic repercussions for the country, speaking at a Ministry of Economy event in Mexico City.

Zamora emphasized that Mexico has robust protective measures in place, particularly a fuel price stabilization mechanism that has been operational since 2019. This system is designed to cushion the domestic market against volatile international energy prices during periods of geopolitical instability.

The Finance Secretary called for calm among citizens and businesses, noting that Mexico's economic infrastructure is well-positioned to absorb temporary shocks from international conflicts. The government's proactive approach includes monitoring global oil markets and maintaining strategic reserves to ensure price stability.

While acknowledging that no country is completely immune to global economic disruptions, Zamora stressed that Mexico's diversified economy and established financial safeguards provide significant protection against prolonged impacts from regional conflicts abroad.
