Mexico has hit another milestone in its recovery efforts, churning out the highest factory productivity in nearly four years.

The  Mexican Institute of Financial Executives released its findings earlier this month, as the organization concludes that further progress lies ahead.

“The IMEF factory index rose to 54.6 in April from a revised downward 53.7 in March, the Mexican Institute of Financial Executives, or IMEF, said in a report. The last time the index had such a high reading was in November 2006, at 55.4 points.

Readings of 50 and above signal likely expansion in subsequent months. The index first rose above that level last July.

Last week the central bank revised upward its outlook for growth this year, expecting Mexico’s economy to expand between 4 percent and 5 percent in 2010 as Latin America’s second largest economy recovers from a deep recession.”

The national growth of Mexico is exceeding even the most garish expectations, according to a new study released today.

The national GDP is on track to expand by 3.87 percent, far higher than the initial projections of 3.28 percent. Increased industrial output and a growth in retail sales continues to fuel speculation of a faster than expected recovery from the trouble spots of the last year, which were largely due to the U.S. financial collapse, as Americans continue to be the largest purchaser of Mexican exports in the world.

The increased estimates come on the heels of a survey of top economists conducted by the central bank.

In an epic gesture of good faith,  President Barack Obama voiced his unwavering solidarity with President Calderon and the people of Mexico at today’s meetings in Guadalajara.

“I have great confidence in President Calderon’s administration applying the law enforcement techniques that are necessary to curb the power of the cartels, but doing so that’s consistent with human rights,” President Obama said on Monday.

In response to any human rights concerns, the President replied, “The biggest, by far, violators of human rights right now are the cartels themselves that are kidnapping people and extorting people and encouraging corruption in these regions. That’s what needs to be stopped.”

These meetings represent an historic opportunity for both Mexico, the United States, and Canada to grow together as one, and the rest of the summit promises to be just as supportive.

The Mexican tourism industry is beginning to bounce back from a hard hit in the recent year. After a month of May that say 13 inns with 5,200 rooms shut down in the city of Cancun alone, the industry is getting a much needed boost with reduced fairs to and from Mexico.

While tourists are returning to some of their favorite destinations, they are spending less and less when they do go, largely as a result of the unstable global economy.  The $3.62 billion (USD) that foreign visitors spent in the first quarter is almost nine percent less than the first quarter of last year.

However, Rodrigo de la Pena, president of the Cancun Hotel Association, remains optimistic.

“We’re recovering quicker than we thought… The hotels have almost all their work force back, and tourists are arriving.” Only time will tell if the tourists that are arriving are effectively stimulating the Mexican economy.
