Mexico's star wanes as reforms underwhelm

Foreign investors in Latin America are warming to Brazil as a promising turnaround bet while souring on Mexico and its landmark energy reform that has yet to deliver.

Brazil has yet to recover from its worst recession in decades, inflation and interest rates remain among the highest in the region and it is saddled with a bloated public sector. In contrast, Mexico's economy is growing at around 2 percent, has lower fiscal deficits and sounder public finances.
