President Vicente Fox is known as a visionary leader with a deep understanding of the economic and social challenges facing Latin America. He is one of the world’s most important voices on the contemporary geo-political landscape and the role of business in the developing world.
When elected to presidency of Mexico in 2000, Vicente Fox broke the hold that the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party had held on the State for seven decades. A charismatic reformer, President Fox is credited as playing a vital role in Mexico’s democratization and with strengthening the country’s economy. During his tenure, he succeeded in controlling inflation and interest rates, and in achieving the lowest unemployment rate in all Latin America.
