Well-Diversified and Profitable Business
Mexican Economy
Diverse economy with a strong balance sheet
•
The Mexican economy reflects a solid mix of
commodities, goods production, and services
Trade remains dominated by the U.S., but
Mexico's diversification agenda is underpinned
by 13 free-trade agreements with 47 countries
that account for 40% of global GDP
Despite NAFTA-related concerns, investment
rebounded in 2018, which points to the
resilience of the economy to trade uncertainty
