On third-quarter growth from the previous quarter:

“Our administration thinks that next year the economy will grow by at least 3 percent, and we’re working hard in my government so that the Mexican economy can show an average growth of 5 percent by the end of my term. We are fully committed to make our economic outlook a reality.”

On economic goals:

“My government has a goal, and that is to transform our country. We want to make Mexico a developed country, a fair country with a competitive economy, one able to generate jobs.”
