Resumo:This article maintains that the specialization pattern that can be observed in Mexico since the mid-1980's has consolidated the leadership of a group of industries with high export capacity, and that a positive impact should have been experienced in the long-term growth rate of the Mexican economy. However, the high income elasticities of the demand for imports on the part of the leading industries, and the rapid increase in their imports have prevented a significant improvement in the structural conditions of the trade balance. It is argued that given the difficulties in linking these industries with national suppliers of inputs, it is necessary to reconsider the role that the more traditional export activities, which have greater possibilities for domestic linkage, could play in achieving a higher growth rate.
