“ctions, which is what we believe we should continue to drive in our campaigns and bringing the whole digital space into doing better what we do best. So that's about North America. Since you asked about Mexico, let me talk a little bit about what we're doing there. As you know, we had the sugar tax at the beginning of the year. That had an impact.

Since I was talking to Mexico, I think I should say as well that Brazil and the Central America actually offset the impact of volume declines in Mexico and Argentina.

Henrique Braun: Yes. Great, Peter. So first of”
