President Enrique Pena Nieto’s bid to reform tax and energy laws is directing investors’ attention toward Mexico’s economic prospects and away from its six-year drug war.

That’s the lowest in five years and compares with a price of $490,000 on March 2, 2009, when the drug violence intensified.

In 2012, nearly 130 Mexicans won political asylum – seemingly a small amount, but actually about three times the number who did just six years earlier, according to the Miami Herald.
An example of the type of person who is [...]
