Dallas Federal Reserve Bank Conference on Southern NM Economy

The Role of Southern New Mexico in the Economy
October 18, 2013 – Las Cruces, NM

New Mexico has a long tradition of rapid growth compared with the rest of the United States. The Great Recession touched virtually every region, and New Mexico was not an exception. While the U.S. economy has been in recovery mode since the summer of 2009, New Mexico has struggled to keep up with the national pace. Data indicate there is a significant difference in economic performance between Northern and Southern New Mexico, with the Southern leading the recovery. Strong economic growth in Southern New Mexico has been driven mostly by trade, commodities and agriculture.

Speakers at this conference will discuss recent economic trends and will comment on the future of the Southern New Mexico economy.
