Thr key variables ut present are the price of oil and the nature of the supporting financial package that Mexico receives: from outside:

Should Mexico agreeinancial package in sonicof new money and concessiom, we believe the government will promise to undertake economic reforms but. because of domestic political constraints, fall far short of measures needed to prevent future financialignificantly improve lhe |marlormance of tbe Mexican economy.

Should the price of oil fall further or substantial liuancial assistance not be given, we believe Mexico will shortly begin to withhold interest payments selectively and may subsequently take additional unilateral actions.

In our view. Mexico will implement significant economic reforms only if deteriorating economic conditions convitier the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party ;PRI) that its grip on power is threatened. We giveow probability over the next year, and in any case it will become more difficult lo make as the PRI gets closer to8 presidential elections.

If Mexico succeeds in negotiating significant new money and interest rale concessions, other debtors will put strong pressure on kinks lo match the terms. In the event Mexico takes unilateral action to limit its debl burden, we do not believe other debtors will act immediately in

concert to follow the Mexican load. Kvcn so, because of similar economic pressures affecting other debtors and the precedents for unilateral action, others could decide to follow suit. Tlie prospects for radical action by other debtors would increase if they perceived that Mexico was not sufferingesult of its actions.

Overall, the most likely outcome lor Ihe near term will he one of semibailout. minimal Mexican reforms.!

Current Setting

High government spending before elections In July and an accommodative monetary policy caused Ihe public deficit to swell to almostercent ol CM' last year, nearly double tlie rate targeted by the IMF. At the same time, inflation rose toercent, revrrsina two years in which the rate of price increases had fallen. Moreover. Mexico's trade surplus declined by almost

hould creditors be unwilling to provide coutin ucd significant financial assistance to Mexico, then wc believe the government will increasingly be forced into the position of having to decide tooratorium or to begin to undertake more significant economic reforms.

Political Outlook

c la Madrid ami some other Mexican leaders almost certainly arc aware lhat economic conditions within Mexico will dcterioiate over tlie next two to three years, and dissatisfaction with the stewardship of tin- ruling PHI will rise significantly, in our judgment They also probably realize that it is in Mexico's long-term interests to undertake fundamental economic reforms Most I'M officials and other key interest groups, however, feai that this would result In an OrOSiou ol their long-term political hegemony I

ebtors outside of Latin America arc also likely In .seek special treatment or reevaluale llieii posit ions in servicing the debt, either in the case Mexico obtains major concessions or unilaterally reduces its debt service payments Many of these countries are lust as hard pressed as is Mexico by declining prices for llieii exports and economically and politically onerous debt service burdens. (See annex.}!

hould Mexico City and its credllorsegotiated settlement of the current debt question, we believe the de la Madrid administration will publiclyelf lo additional austerity and economic reform. Although Mexico City will promise far more than it will deliver, labor and other key groups will oppose even modes! reforms as they are implemented Moreover, real incomes would decline again in 1WH) on top of real wage declines in each ol the last thiee years We do not i'xpeel lltcse conditions to cause serious unrest in ihe near term. Disgruntlemenl with gnvernmeni policies and with the President'showever, will grow over time and make It more dillieult for the PRI lo retain offices in key areas

Should Mexico obtain special treatment, others are likely Iu try to make tlie case that they too are beset by world market forces, see no prospects' for an improvement in exportnd cannot for do mcstic political reasons make further substantial cuts ir.
