As President of Mexico (1994—2000), Ernesto Zedillo faced major financial and economic adversities. He instituted political, judicial, and economic reforms and played a key role in moving Mexico toward democratization. It was during Zedillo’s presidency that Mexico experienced the highest GDP growth in recent Mexican History. Since leaving office, President Zedillo has been appointed Chairman of the Financing for Development High Level Panel convened by the United Nations Secretary General and Director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.
