Mexico listed in the 2015's Top places to Retire!

One of the world’s best expat havens lies just south of the border, proving that you don’t have to traverse the globe to find your own piece of paradise. Due to its proximity to the U.S., the comforts of home are never far away in Mexico. English is widely spoken in expat havens (though Spanish will help tremendously) and U.S. food, products, and sports are also popular.

“In Mexico I can get almost anything I could get back home, between the U.S. chain stores and the local shops and markets plus I can get all the wonderful local specialties,” says IL Editor Glynna Prentice. “The big difference is the prices. Tickets to a top-notch concert may cost me $8 or even less…and I can walk to the concert hall through a beautiful colonial city. I can buy a week’s worth of groceries for $15 or $20, and I don’t know anyone who pays more than a few hundred dollars a year in property taxes.”Established expat havens in communities such as Puerto Vallarta and San Miguel de Allende ease the integration process, while excellent property can still be found for far less than you’d pay in the States. In communities where expats flock, health care is as good as what you’d expect at home, but delivered at a much lower cost, leaving you with plenty of money in your wallet to enjoy the innumerable activities and cultural treasures this large and diverse country has to offer.

From the pristine beaches of Puerto Vallarta and the scenic streets of San Miguel de Allende to the Mayan ruins of the Yucatán, Mexico has it all.This country can cater to a wide range of tastes—whether you’re in search of a quiet getaway or on the hunt for adventure. The country’s large size also affords it a diverse range of climates to accommodate every tolerance of heat, humidity, and rainfall. Good Internet and infrastructure can be found throughout most of the country, and Mexico’s famed cuisine is another much-loved plus. Regular flights to and from the U.S. are also a distinct advantage…or you could drive home if so inclined.

AMAZON COMING SOON TO MEXICO?

After weeks of rumors in e-commerce circles in Mexico, the online retail giant Amazon may soon expand its presence here beyond e-books and Kindle readers.

Analysts say Amazon’s arrival in Mexico could serve to revolutionize some aspects of the e-commerce sector: rapid electronic payments in a country that is still to a large degree unbanked, the logistics of delivery and the quality of service to the consumer. Improvements in those areas could help detonate the growth of e-commerce.

“Amazon has raised the bar in the market for Internet purchases by controlling in a massive way the delivery times of its products and its customer service,” said Yory Wurmser of the consultancy eMarketer. “It has a clear determination to meet the demands of consumers.” The company, which enjoys about 20% of Internet–based sales in the U.S., is known to invest heavily in customer service, for which it is prepared to lose money.

Mexico is not a highly-developed market for Internet sales. The Mexican Internet Association (Amipci) says sales in 2014 were just US $11 billion while in the U.S. they were over $305 billion.

But last year’s sales were up 34% over 2013, growth that is expected to continue.
Companies such as the Argentinian firm MercadoLibre, Rocket Internet’s Livio, Walmart, Costco and Liverpool will be Amazon’s chief competitors. Walmart, Mexico’s largest retailer, has invested heavily in its e-commerce platform since 2013 — 3.4 billion pesos in total (US $218 million) — and is expected spend another 2.4 billion pesos this year.

In the long run what this all means boils down to good news for consumers. “They will have better prices, better selection, better delivery and better service,” says Michelle Grant of the consultancy Euromonitor. “Amazon is one of those companies that has a strong commitment to its customers . . . .” It operates with a long-term vision and it’s clear that making a profit for its investors is not important, she said.

Wind power: Huge Expansion Forecast

Wind energy in Mexico is expected to attract annual investment of US $2 billion during the next 25 years, becoming the most important sector in the country’s energy industry and the main source of large-scale renewable energy by 2033, surpassing hydroelectric. These investments will more than double the installed capacity of Mexico’s electrical power sector, going from 66 gigawatts in 2014 to 152 gigawatts in 2040. By then, renewable energy sources will be generating two-thirds of the country’s electricity. For investors, wind power generation in Mexico is attractive due to its low cost, says Bloomberg new energy finance analyst Lilian Alves, which today compares to that of natural gas. “The demand for power in Mexico is expected to grow, on average, 2% per year until 2040, which is interesting because projections for other regions, like the U.S. and Europe, show a stabilization in power demand, and even a slight decrease,” said Alves. “The country has many resources for power generation, and the potential for the power generation industry to grow.”
