  3. The Mexican economy grew 4.8% in 2021, a figure that disappoints as it is less than the 6% that the Government expected and that causes debate among specialists about a possible recession after the contraction in two consecutive quarters. The gross domestic product (GDP) of Mexico decreased by 0.1% quarterly between October and December, which is added to the fall of 0.4% from July to September, according to preliminary data released this Monday by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi). Despite the economic rebound in the first half of 2021, services fell 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in the last period, with growth of just 0.4% in industry and 0.3% in agricultural activity, according to the Seasonally adjusted figures from Inegi. Throughout the year, based on original figures, the country had an annual growth of 4.8% supported by the growth of the industrial sector (6.5%), services (4%) and agriculture (2.9 %). This growth occurs after the historical contraction of 8.2% of GDP caused in 2020 by the COVID-19 crisis, which has left more than 4.9 million cases and 305,000 deaths in Mexico, the fifth highest figure in the world. world. “Although a very high growth is heard, it is still a rebound effect,” Gabriela Siller, director of economic analysis at Banco Base, warned Efe. "stagflation" The Government expected to grow 6% anchored in foreign trade, in particular in the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC), in addition to consumption motivated by the absence of restrictions due to the pandemic and vaccination. In contrast, the figures show a decrease in Mexico in the second half of the year coupled with general inflation of 7.36% in 2021, the highest in 20 years, for which the country has entered into "stagflation", something that hadn't happened since the 1980s, according to Siller. “Mexico will not recover the pre-crisis GDP level until 2024 and in per capita terms until 2026. There is even talk that Mexico has fallen into stagflation, which is the combination of these two economic events, which is economic stagnation and a high inflation," he explained. Throughout 2021, the Mexican economy suffered from the waves of the delta and omicron variants, in addition to the bottlenecks in the value chains and shortages of supplies that affected the industry, particularly the automotive sector. And there are also internal factors, Siller clarified, who said that Mexico is among the 16 economies of the 50 largest in the world that have not yet fully recovered their pre-pandemic level. "The fall in GDP in the last quarter of the year was determined by the coronavirus crisis, but also by other factors such as high inflation, insecurity in Mexico, and economic policies that have generated uncertainty." Analysts fear that Mexico did not take advantage of the growth of its largest trading partner, the United States, which reported a 5.7% increase in GDP in 2021, the highest since 1984. "Despite having benefited from favorable external conditions, the Mexican economy showed clear signs of weakness in the second half of 2021, reporting a weaker performance than that observed in other countries in the region," said Renzo Merino, an analyst at Moody's. , in a media note. recession debate Mexico's contraction has sparked a debate about a possible recession. BBVA Mexico acknowledged that in the country there is no definition of recession, but in the United States it is defined as two consecutive quarterly falls, as experienced by the Mexican economy. Ricardo Aguilar, an analyst at Invex, also detected in an analysis disclosed to the media of a "technical recession", although the deputy governor of the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) Jonathan Heath wants three criteria to be required that are not yet fully met: duration, depth and spread. “There are many economists who question whether the Mexican economy entered a new recession for having two consecutive quarters of sequential contraction. There is also the possibility that the recession that began in 2019 or 2020 would not have ended," added Julio A. Santaella, former president of Inegi. While the debate rages on, the consensus is that Mexico is in for a tough year. "Regardless of who won, we Mexicans lost: our economy is similar in size to what it was in 2016," lamented Brenda Flores, an economic analysis researcher for the Mexico group How are we doing?

  4. The new BMW CE 04 arrives, an electric motorcycle that claims to adapt all the knowledge acquired in the development of the BMW iX, the firm's SUV and electric range. Its main arguments: a maximum of 130 kilometers of electric autonomy and a 42 hp engine that promise those "BMW sensations", which are now arriving in Spain. The electric range of the firm is extended with an urban model and in motorcycle format. This scooter, with a clearly futuristic image, went all out in design (its prototype was presented at the 2017 Villa d'Este elegance contest), enough power to move safely through traffic and the latest connected functions , to always be aware of the status of the motorcycle and even improve safety on board. Technical sheet of the BMW CE 04 BMW EC 04 bodywork type Electric motorcycle with meat versions A1 and A2. Measures and weights 1,675 mm long, 1,150 mm high (including windshield) and 855 mm wide. 231kg weight. Trunk Compartment with space for the helmet and auxiliary compartment for smartphone. 179kg payload. maximum power 31 kW (42 hp) WMTC Consumption 7.7 kWh DGT environmental label zero emissions Driving aids (ADAS) ABS, ASC and e-call emergency call Others Connectivity with smartphone and integrated maps on 10.25-inch TFT screen. electric Yes. Permanent magnet electric motor with powers of 11 kW (15 CV) or 15 kW (20 CV). Autonomy of 100 or 130 km, respectively. Price and launch 12,050 euros. Spring of 2022. A commitment to the BMW image The BMW CE 04 breathes BMW DNA wherever you look at it. Aesthetically it is a daring motorcycle, with a very risky futuristic design, and that gives off that feeling of being ahead of its time that we already saw in the BMW i3 or i8 back in the day. From the prototype presented in 2017 to the final product there are hardly any aesthetic changes. Highlighting its visible rear wheel and its floating seat. Beyond the image, the BMW CE 04 is an important commitment to the latest developments in mobility. We are facing an electric scooter that can move at a maximum of 120 km/h and that will be sold in two versions. The most powerful account with a nominal power of 15 kW (20 hp) and delivers a maximum of 31 kW (42 hp). For this version it is necessary to have an A2 card. The entry option to the range has an engine with a nominal power of 11 kW (15 hp), although it can deliver up to 23 kW (32 hp) on an occasional basis, and in this case it can be driven with an A1 license. Its acceleration from 0 to 50 km/h is 2.6 and 2.7 seconds, with the faster (obviously) being the more powerful option. As for its autonomy, the access version reaches 100 kilometers and its range of use is extended to 130 kilometers in the superior option. It comes standard with a 2.3 kW charging cable that needs to take 4 hours and 20 minutes for a full charge. As an option, a 6.9 kW three-phase charge will be available, reducing standby time to 1 hour and 40 minutes. With this fast charger, you can reach 80% battery from 20% in just 45 minutes. Security and a commitment to connectivity Those who take the controls will have at their disposal traction control through ASC (Automatic Stability Control, for its acronym in English), which manages the delivery of torque to the rear wheel based on the grip of the tire at all times. Also standard, the BMW CE 04 comes with three driving modes "ECO", "Rain" and "Road". The sensations on board can be improved with the "Dynamic" mode, as an option. And safety with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), also an option, which offers greater safety when accelerating and, especially, when the bike is leaning. Its tires are sized 120/70 R15 67H on the front axle and 160/60 R15 56H on the rear. The wheels are accompanied by a double disc brake at the front and a single disc at the rear and an ABS system to improve braking. In the option it can be extended with the ABS Pro that controls cornering braking by means of an inclination sensor. The set is rounded off by a 10.25-inch TFT screen, with an integrated map and navigation system that shows the battery or the remaining charge time. The scooter can also be paired with the smartphone and use BMW's own communication system. It also has its own space for the mobile phone, with a USB-C port for charging on the go and refrigerated to prevent it from overheating. Finally, its play of lights stands out. An optical group is included as standard that groups the position and crossing lights with LED technology. This system is the same as that used for the turn signals and rear lights. In addition, an option includes a set of adaptive lights that improve safety at night and have an even more striking light signature. Price and availability of the BMW CE 04 As for its price, those looking for the cheapest BMW CE 04 can opt for its starting price of 12,050 euros. In this case, the motorcycle can take advantage of the MOVES III Plan, since without VAT it is below 10,000 euros and, therefore, it can receive aid of between 1,100 and 1,300 euros. However, those who opt for larger equipment packages will cross this line and the scooter will be left out of the aid plan. From its launch it has only been confirmed that we will see it next spring.

  10. American economist Tyler Cowen explains that those who do not own cryptocurrencies will be able to buy more at better prices than they expected. Cryptocurrency prices are falling. According to a report, crypto assets have lost around $1.35 trillion globally since November, with the price of some falling by 80% or more. Many investors feel real nerves. The good news is that the global economy, or, for that matter, American society, is no poorer. And so there doesn't need to be a huge economic response to adjust to these new prices (the other side of the coin is that if cryptocurrency prices do see another sharp rise, there won't be much to celebrate). (See: Dian audited operations with cryptocurrencies). Over time I have gone from being a crypto skeptic to what I call a crypto optimist. Therefore, it is a good time to assess how radically lower cryptocurrency prices will affect the social value of cryptocurrencies. One possibility is that cryptocurrency prices, even at current levels, are mostly in a bubble and that cryptocurrencies are of little use. In that case, lower cryptocurrency prices mean less purchasing power for crypto holders, but that doesn't translate into less wealth for the economy as a whole. People who don't own much crypto will, in the long run, have more control over goods and services. Cryptocurrency holders who were bidding against you will spend less over time. Purchasing power will shift to those who are not crypto holders. In these scenarios, psychological losses are felt before psychological gains. Most cryptocurrency holders are unhappy at the moment, but few non-holders are celebrating that they have greater (but modest) purchasing power. (Also: Cryptocurrencies plummet: the reasons behind this trend). However, over time, those who do not own cryptocurrencies will be able to buy more at better prices than they expected. What crypto holders lose will be more or less what non-crypto holders gain. Let's consider another scenario, one in which cryptocurrencies would be about to provide a host of useful services. Perhaps crypto assets support useful savings and loans through decentralized finance, run smart contracts online cheaply, and provide useful coins and stores of value for the pending metaverse. Most of these services are not yet available, at least not in the form that they eventually will be. Thus, if a lower crypto price is a sign that these services will not be as valuable as expected, that means that society will be a little less rich “in the future”. This does not affect much the current standard of living. That's a worst case scenario which I further think is unlikely even if the crypto revolution succeeds. Instead, the long-term value of cryptocurrencies is more likely to be strong and current cryptocurrency price trends to be driven by risk and liquidity issues. The drop in cryptocurrency prices does not appear to be the result of a new understanding that crypto institutions are irrevocably flawed. Instead, it's due to a nasty mix of persistent inflation, higher real interest rates, lower share prices for major tech companies, and geopolitical fears. (Read: Mercado Libre bets on cryptos and announced investments in the sector). It's all bad news, but not about cryptocurrencies nonetheless. There are the same crypto fundamentals. Higher real interest rates make the future less valuable in real discounted value terms, but crypto doesn't hold a special place in this woe. The bottom line is that even a big drop in cryptocurrency prices will not create much social concern. The Fed doesn't have to panic and regulators don't have to take action. Regardless of whether one is a crypto-optimist or a crypto-pessimist, on a societal level the loss of that $1.35 trillion worth is largely imaginary. This disconnect between major disasters and falling cryptocurrency prices could be news for crypto in the long run. For one thing, it shows that cryptocurrency prices can drop sharply and suddenly without inducing more general contagion. And while some blockchains have been slow to process transactions, in general, the cryptocurrency world has taken this big shock in stride.

  11. The silent hybrid version of the Bentayga delivers a combined 449 hp and can reach 40 km in 100% electric mode. There are several 'layers of the sky' when it comes to cars. Perhaps for the biggest car collectors in the world, the dream would consist of hoarding a Ferrari 250 GTO, more thinking about the 60 million they can pay for it than for the enjoyment of driving it. For the rest of the mortals, heaven is closer. And Bentley, with the Bentayga, inhabits that space unattainable for most in which SUV fashion is combined with luxury worthy of kings. The Bentley Bentayga reached the first customers in 2016. Imposing for the volume it occupies (measuring 5.14 m long, 1.99 m wide and 1.72 m high); elegant for its line and its chrome; intimidating due to the benefits that it allows to suspect; Respecting once we discover the power outlet, a sign of the hybrid nature of this unit..., in a certain way it reminds us of a sculpture by Botero in movement. If someone keeps in mind the shapes of the original model, they will guess the aesthetic changes that it premiered last year. There are very evident novelties behind, where the rectangular pilots left their space for other oval ones in tune with those that the Continental GT wears. And this change has required modifying the tailgate, which is now so wide that it is undisguisedly introduced into the rear wings. The fact of being more discreet does not prevent the frontal changes from being even greater. In fact, everything on this flank is new: the front grille, which now gains more presence due to its larger dimensions; the bumpers, with new ventilation intakes; and the optical groups themselves. Each of the latter has 82 LEDs and looking at them one has the feeling of being in front of a luxurious piece of glass. The key, heavy due to its chromed metal parts, opens the doors of a cabin where you have to arrive prepared to appreciate every detail. If we were to focus on touch, we would begin by noting that we find the comfort of the seats masterful, which also have a cast of massages in the first row that works our body quite effectively. Even through the shoes, the thickness and comfort of the mats are also very noticeable, perhaps an inopportune white color in our case due to the ease of getting dirty and the difficulty in cleaning them. And throwing the greatest here and there we appreciate that elements such as the gear shift paddles or even the chrome speaker covers look metallic and really are. The same does not happen with the change selector, whose ornaments reveal once we touch them that they are actually plastic. Behind a steering wheel of adequate thickness appears a box of clocks that reveals the DNA of the Volkswagen Group. Specifically, the graphics will be familiar to those with an Audi. Even the turn signal and windshield wiper controls are from Audi, although Bentley have had the delicacy of toning down their black appearance by incorporating some chrome buttons. The central air vents were modified in the latest redesign, as was the central clock (analog, of course) and the 10.9-inch infotainment screen, very well placed and with very readable graphics. Four or five seats For the rear seats, you can choose between two independent seats or a bench with three seats, as the car we tested had. Seeing the external dimensions of the car, the feeling of spaciousness behind here is not surprising. And it is also very much appreciated that the central seat is not as comfortable as the side ones, but it is much more comfortable than what we are used to seeing both in SUVs and in any sedan model. In front of the legs of this central occupant we have a 5-inch screen from which you can see data from the trip computer, regulate the air conditioning in the rear seats, activate the heating of the seats, close the roof curtains... little low, but this is not a problem because the screen itself is removable and we can hold it in our hands to handle it, as we would with a mobile phone. But to stay in the luxury that is obvious would be to detract from the technological section when talking about the Bentayga Hybrid. For starters, everything in it is built on the Volkswagen Group's MLB Evo platform. In other words, it has the same 'backbone' as other large SUVs, such as the Audi Q7, the Lamborghini Urus, the Porsche Cayenne or the Volkswagen Touareg, which incidentally has made its electrification possible. Bearing in mind that luxury and size always translate into weight, it is good for the Bentley Bentayga that the lithium-ion battery housed under the plane of the trunk (being a hybrid reduces its size to 480 liters) has 17.3 kWh of net capacity and no more. More than anything because the car as a whole already weighs 2.6 tons, and increasing the mass would increase the work that the electronics will have to do when many curves appear. 40 kilometers of autonomy With this battery, the Bentayga has an official autonomy in 0 Emissions mode of 40 km. It can be even less if we are not very sensitive on the accelerator, but in the British firm they assure that it is enough for the route that its driver usually does on average per day. This battery feeds a motor with only 128 hp (the electric power-to-weight ratio is fair, but sufficient: 20kg/hp). But it is always ready to accompany the 3.0-liter V6 block with 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque, with which it offers, together, a total of 449 hp. It is clear that the figure is clearly lower than the 550 hp of the V8 version and especially the 635 of the Bentayga Speed. But if we forget about comparisons and analyze the feeling of push that we give when going from 0 to 100 in 5.5 seconds and recovering at any speed, it is easy to forget about its hybrid approach and its ecological aspect. In these circumstances, and with the battery depleted, consumption can shoot up to figures around 18 litres/100 km. If, on the other hand, we drive calmly but without a battery, this figure can be around 13l/100 km. And you will have to always have a well-charged battery (it takes 2.5 hours to recharge in a 7.2 kW outlet) and pull a lot from the electric motor to get close to the 3.3 l/100 km that the brand announces as an official figure. . The change is not double clutch, but by torque converter and with eight speeds. Something slow, by the way, but with great pleasure thanks to the aforementioned metal paddles that we find behind the wheel. active stabilizers And among its ingredients we have not yet mentioned a main one, and that is its pneumatic suspensions and active stabilizers. As much as we have some extraordinary seats with a great relaxing massage and that the sound insulation of the cabin is magnificent, the comfort would fade in twisty sections if we did not have, above all, these stabilizers mentioned. We must clarify that the Bentayga continues to feel heavy and leans somewhat in supports with some force, but it is much less than what physics would force it to do. By the way, it is surprising to see that the electronics have not been fully focused towards an ecological use in this Bentayga Hybrid. The driving modes are Sport, Bentley (in which it starts by default, and somewhat less sporty than Sport) and Comfort, as well as another configurable. That is, there is no Eco mode as such. And it is also surprising that in terms of battery treatment there is an Electric mode, another Hybrid and a third 'Reserve', the latter to keep the battery charge intact for later, but not a 'Charge' in which the engine of gasoline already contributes to charging the lithium battery. The price of the hybrid Bentayga with taxes is 201,000 euros in our country. But that is not the rate for this First Edition version, which with a finish that is even more to the taste of gourmets raises its rate to almost 250,000 euros.

  13. The Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, maintains that the GDP has recovered its pre-pandemic size Last year, the French economy overcame the blow dealt by the pandemic by registering a growth of 7%, the highest it has experienced in the last 52 years. According to the National Institute of Statistics (INSEE, for its acronym in French), the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 0.7% in the quarter of the year. That allowed it to exceed “in net terms” the levels prior to the pandemic, according to a statement. The data is higher than that advanced by INSEE itself and that forecast by the Bank of France, which predicted an expansion of 6.7% for the year as a whole. In the final stretch of the year, the country gave the push it needed for its economy to recover its pre-pandemic size. The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, stated on the public channel France 2 that "the French economy exceeds the wealth it had in 2019 and recovers the level prior to the crisis", while saying that "it is moving at full capacity and It has a strong reaction capacity.” France registers an unprecedented employment rate since 1975, with a record drop in unemployment, and a rate of business investment higher than before the health crisis, supported the Executive's aid to mitigate the effects of the health crisis, some 60,000 millions of euros. Despite this, the French economy has not yet returned to normal, since the first part of the year was still marked by restrictions to curb covid. The production of goods and services closed on the locomotive of growth, with a rise of 7.4%, after having fallen by 8.5% in 2020, although they have not yet recovered the average level of 2019. Domestic consumption paid the Restrictions in the first part of the year and closed 2021 with a rise of 4.8%, after the fall of 7.2% the previous year. Investments exceeded their 2019 level, after registering a rise of 11.6%. International trade maintained the effects of the crisis and both exports and imports were far from their pre-crisis level. As for exports, they were 8.5% less than in 2019, while imports were 5.5% below the average for that year. Despite this, it made a positive contribution to the rise in GDP of 0.2 points, after subtracting 1.1 points from it in 2020. The INSEE had that the recovery of foreign trade intensified in the last quarter, especially imports, which rose by 3.6%, after having done so by 0.8% in the previous one, while exports improved by 3.2 % after 1.7%.
