In his third state of the nation address, the president said, "Almost all forecasts for this year agree that the economy will grow about 6 percent."
He also pointed out that although the country is still registering COVID-19 cases, the spread of the virus has been mitigated due to the national vaccination drive that began in December.
The president thanked several governments for the support they have provided in terms of vaccines and other supplies, especially Cuba, Argentina, Russia, China, India and the United States.
Mexico has received more than 103 million doses of vaccines against COVID-19, making it possible to vaccinate 65 percent of the population over 18 years old, Lopez Obrador said.
"The fact that we have fewer hospitalizations and, above all, that the mortality rate has been considerably reduced ... is a very important human achievement," he said.
"But it is also an indicator of the normalization of the country's educational, productive and social activity," he added.
