Mexico expects to weather presidential switch

The economy is likely to withstand any leadership changes without a devaluation of the peso for the first time in 25 years due to the tight monetary policies of President Zedillo

For the first time since 1976, Mexico looks like getting through a presidential election without an economic crisis. If it happens it will be the first time in the last quarter of a century that Mexico has managed to weather a presidential transition without a peso devaluation or other major crisis.

And the credit would be due to the current administration of President Zedillo.
