Mexico has become one of the most important production links in the North American industrial chain, which means its market is heavily shaped by U.S. manufacturing demand, local rate policy, and export competitiveness. Investors usually frame Mexico through near-shoring momentum, fiscal and monetary discipline, and whether industrial investment keeps broadening beyond autos and electronics.

Trade and external position
The latest available data show exports of $674.9B and imports of $723.2B, leaving an external balance of −$48.3B. Services account for 8.5% of total exports.
This is the broadest export figure for Mexico in the WTO annual data, combining merchandise and commercial services. Goods account for 91.5% of the total and services for 8.5%, which quickly shows whether the export machine is still mainly physical trade or already more service-heavy.
This is the merchandise side of the export base. In 2024, the biggest WTO goods bucket was manufactures at 79.2% of merchandise exports, which is the cleanest shortcut for what really drives the physical export mix.
This is the services side of exports, covering travel, transport, finance, IP, digital, and business services. The largest WTO services export sector in 2024 was travel at $33.0B, which helps explain where intangible export strength is concentrated.

GDP
What This Signals
Nominal GDP is shown here in reported currency terms, so each point is the size of the economy itself rather than the growth rate of that economy. It is useful for judging the economy's absolute scale, which matters when comparing fiscal capacity, debt servicing room, and how meaningful a given policy package really is. Versus a year ago, the series is higher by 6.4%, which points to an improving or firmer backdrop on this measure. Across the displayed window, the broader trend is still upward.
