THE MEXICO BRIEF
Mexico overview

The guide I wanted when I started looking.

I kept finding the answer on a different website. GDP at INEGI. The peso at Banxico. Public finances at Hacienda. Trade somewhere else. This puts the important parts in one place.

It covers the economy, politics, people, trade, and the relationship with the United States. The figures are dated and the original sources are linked. It is an overview, not an encyclopedia.

A snapshot, not a live page

The report is dated 13 July 2026. The Brief, Charts, and Sources pages keep updating. The report keeps its date so a later number never quietly changes an earlier argument.
