But, looking at all of the commercial real estate holdings across the country, particularly those with mortgages taken out between 2003 and 2007, and the problem is deeper than most people can imagine...

Forgiving the mid-1990s, when the peso had to be rescued by the Clinton Administration, the Mexican economy has shown great resilience in the past 20 years as Mexico oriented itself to the outside world, joined the World Trade Organization and signed the North American Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. and Canada.
