Mexico cuts growth forecast as oil production falls
Mexico's central bank cut on Tuesday
Mexico City - AFP
Mexico's central bank cut on Tuesday its economic growth forecast for this year due to an expected drop in oil production and lower external demand in the first quarter.
The bank said it now expects the economy to grow in a range between 2.0 and 3.0 percent, down from a previous forecast of 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent.
The "weak" recovery of consumer spending in Mexico's second largest economy also affected the forecast, the bank said in its first quarter inflation report.
The bank had already lowered the annual growth outlook in February, from 3.0-4.0 percent to 2.5-3.5 percent due to the sharp drop in global oil prices.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
