la deuda externa en mexico creci a niveles histricos durante el ltimo sexenio
Explanation
The statement claims that Mexico's external debt grew to historic levels during the last six-year term, which refers to the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) from 2018 to 2024. However, analysis of the data indicates that during this period, the increase in public debt, particularly as a percentage of the economy, was lower compared to previous administrations. The cited source from September 2024 indicates that of the last three presidential terms, AMLO’s term experienced the smallest increase in public debt relative to the economic size. This refutes the claim of the debt reaching 'historic' levels. Historically, significant increases were noted during earlier administrations, particularly in the early 1980s. Therefore, the assertion that Mexico's debt reached historic heights during the last term lacks substantiation based on reliable economic data.
Key Points
- During AMLO's presidency, external debt did not grow to historic levels.
- The increase in public debt was lower compared to prior administrations.
- Historical spikes in debt occurred in earlier years, notably during the 1980s.
