| | Mexican Central Bank Governor Guillermo Ortiz | | | Mexico's economic growth is slowing gradually and the country is well prepared to weather a slump in the U.S., Mexican Central Bank Governor Guillermo Ortiz said.
 "Mexico has laid the ground work to improve its economic growth potential substantially," Ortiz said today at a LatinFinance conference in Mexico City.
 Ortiz said that the economies of Latin America and the U.S. are still intertwined, and a slowdown in the U.S. will inevitably affect emerging markets.
 Long-term inflation expectations are well anchored in Mexico, he added. Prices for energy may moderate as the world economy slows, Ortiz said.
