Despite Violence, Juarez Economy is Booming | México Today

Despite Violence, Juarez Economy is Booming | México Today



Recently, MexicoToday.org highlighted Juarez, one of the cities on the U.S.-Mexico border leading the way for the Mexican economy. According to Bob Cook, the president of the El Paso Regional Economic Development Corporation (REDCO), “What we see happening in Juárez right now is a city of competing realities. We have this mostly cartel-related violence taking place, but interestingly, while that is happening, Juárez is leading Mexico in almost every industrial indicator, in terms of new jobs and investment."

While the media focuses on portraying a single view of Mexico, the reality is that investment opportunities are at an all-time high and the Mexican economy is seeing continued growth.
