A Win for Obrador May be a Loss For Mexican Outsourcing

There is little doubt that it will be hard for any future Mexican president to replicate the outsourcing-friendly record of outgoing incumbent Felipe Calderon. However, with the recent surge in the polls of the principal leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Ovum believes that the July election will provide an interesting and potentially negative twist for the outsourcing community. Obrador’s leftist, anti-business rhetoric from his last run at Mexico’s highest office will not have been forgotten by many, but should he win, outsourcers should not abandon Mexico wholesale and should wait to see how his policies impact the sector.
