THE MEXICO BRIEF

Mexico, right now.

The state of Mexico's economy in official numbers. Every figure links to the source series it came from, with the date it was published.

Mexico is a country of 131 million people with a ~$1.9 trillion economy, the world's ~14th-largest and the largest US trading partner.1 It manufactures and exports: about 80% of its exports go to the United States.2 It elects a president every six years, now Claudia Sheinbaum (Morena), through 2030.3

The bottom linesound money (inflation near Banxico's target, a firm peso), weak growth, and near-total dependence on the United States. The swing factor is the unresolved 2026 USMCA review.
