Borderlands is a weekly rundown of developments in the world of United States-Mexico cross-border trucking and trade. This week in Borderlands: Tariffs could lead Mexico into recession, report says; Echo Global Logistics expands operations in Mexico; Americold acquires logistics facility near Houston; and GM agrees to 10.25% wage increase at Mexican plant.Mexico’s economy could be the most affected by an escalating global trade war, leading the nation into a recession by the end of the year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says in a report.The OECD’s “Interim Economic Outlook,” released Monday, predicted Mexico could fall into a recession with a 1.3% contraction in GDP in 2025. That compares to a GDP growth forecast of 1.2% the OECD estimated in a report released in December.“The overall picture is one of generalized downgrades partly because of trade uncertainty and economic policy uncertainty, but also the imposition of tariffs,” Alvaro Pereira, the OECD’s chief economist, said during a news conference on Monday. “We’re already seeing high trade uncertainty and economic policy uncertainty. This is already having an impact on confidence. We have downgraded almost every single country.”The OECD, based in Paris, has 38 member countries – including the U.S., Canada and Mexico – that promote economic growth and sustainable development through public policies.Its latest economic forecast hinges on the Trump administration going forward with 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, as well as implementing broad reciprocal tariffs on other nations on April 2.The tariffs could “sap confidence and add to the downward pressures on corporate and household spending around the world,” the OECD said in its latest report.Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration does not anticipate a recession.“They think we’re not going to do anything in the face of an international situation, but we work every day to address that situation
