By Barry Jagoda

One of Mexico’s leading bankers, Julio de Quesada, head of corporate and investment banking at Citibank in Mexico City, will address the University of California, San Diego Economics Roundtable on October 18.  The talk will focus on Mexico’s main economic priorities and the public is invited to attend.

De Quesada, who holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, will speak broadly on the Mexican economy but is expected to make in-depth comments on that nation’s infrastructure and on issues surrounding Mexican real estate.

In 2001 de Quesada played an instrumental role in the acquisition, by Citibank, of Banamex which had been a leader in Mexico’s banking industry.  Earlier de Quesada had served for Citibank in Pakistan, New York, Central America, Greece and Saudi Arabia.

The Economics Roundtable, to be held at the Faculty Club on the UCSD campus, will begin with a continental breakfast followed by the talk and questions from the audience.  Price per person is $50 which includes parking, breakfast and the presentation.
