Emilio Romano expressed his optimism in a recent Press Conference. He is the director of Bank of America operations for Mexico.
The bank is still hopeful that it will benefit from “nearshoring”, despite recent uncertainties caused by Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs against Mexican products.
Bank of America expects significant revenue growth and customer volumes over the next 5 years as businesses seek to improve their supply chain in Mexico.
Tariff threats in context
North American economy is in chaos as a consequence of the remarks made by President Trump earlier this week regarding potential tariffs against Mexico and Canada.
The market has become more volatile and there are concerns over the stability of the multinational companies’ investments.
In 2026, the United States-Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA), the foundation of commercial relations between the three countries, will be reviewed.
Any major policy change could be significant because the intertwined economy of Mexico and United States is heavily dependent on imports and exported.
Nearshoring is a growing trend.
Emilio Romano outlined a trend that is transforming the economic landscape of Mexico: Nearshoring. This practice, also known as “friend sharing”, has been gaining momentum.
Many multinational companies are moving their operations nearer to home as they face increasing pressure to reduce supply chains and to minimize dependence on other countries.
Mexico, Latin America’s second largest economy, will benefit greatly from this change.
Romano said, “We do not believe that the trend of nearshoring will be reversed.” Mexico won’t leave the North American Economic Union; it is impossible to go back.
In the face of global turmoil, this foresight signals a shift in strategy as companies seek out more reliable and cost-effective options.
Many corporations have realized that by reestablishing their operations in Mexico, they can access trained labor and low-cost manufacturing. This allows them to eliminate supply chain concerns.
Bank of America aspirations
Bank of America’s business targets in Mexico are set high with this optimistic outlook. Romano said that Bank of America expects its client and revenue volume to double in the next five-years.
These estimates show not only confidence about the Mexican market, but also the strategic convergence of companies wanting to be closer to their North American clients.
Bank of America hopes that by building an integrated presence in Mexico it will be able to provide better services to existing customers and attract new clients who are attracted to nearshoring’s benefits.
Investments in technology by the bank and its commitment to Mexico’s economic development may encourage additional foreign direct investments (FDI), which will add to Mexico’s long-term stability.
Risks and Opportunities: Balance the two
While maintaining a positive outlook, the bank must also be aware of the dangers that external uncertainties can create, especially in the current political climate.
The unpredictability of trade policies and tariffs is a major problem that could affect market confidence and investments.
Romano said that despite these obstacles “it would be difficult to change or modify opportunities in Mexico due to uncertainties or internal or external effects.”
The bank is determined to handle the current economic conditions with resilience.
Bank of America is still optimistic about the prospects for its business in Mexico, despite the challenges and changes in the North American trading environment.
The trend of nearshoring offers many growth opportunities, despite the potential impact of tariffs or political uncertainty.
The bank’s plans to double its income and clients volume demonstrate adaptability, and strategic insights in taking advantage of Mexico’s integration into North America.
