134. Although Mexico has had access, particularly in the past fifteen years, to a growing volume of foreign credit to supplement its internal resources — which have fundamentally financed its economic development — our solidarity with the great community of developing countries prompts us to point out that the total available resources for long-term financing have not increased during this decade as had been hoped. We therefore shall support in this forum and in any others — world-wide and regional — in which we take part, all efforts to increase the volume of those resources and to ensure that loans are granted on the most favourable and flexible terms as to purpose and amortization and interest rates. 135. In present circumstances, where some highly industrialized nations — which have been major suppliers of those funds through public and private channels — face balance-of-payments problems, it is all the more urgent to appeal to them to adopt such financial corrective measures as will not make it harder for the developing countries to satisfy their international financial needs within reasonable bounds.
