Mexico’s economy, in numbers
An open hub on Mexico’s economy: the peso, prices, jobs, trade, the states, the people and the rules at the border. Every figure carries its source and its date.
Each figure moves on its own calendar: the peso every banking day, the rest monthly or at each decision. Each tile shows its period, the figure before it and when the next one is due. Banxico is Mexico’s central bank, INEGI its statistics office, IMSS its social security institute.

Three neighbours, three ages
Mexico is young: 47% of its people are under 29, against 35% in the United States and 32% in Canada. The workforce of the next three decades is already born.

All three pyramids are on the same scale, each age as a share of its own country’s people. Generations as of 2025. Counts in millions are our sums of the UN figures.

Mexico’s stock market and its FIBRAs
The IPC
The S&P/BMV IPC is the Mexican Stock Exchange's benchmark index: about 35 of the largest, most liquid BMV-listed stocks, weighted by modified market capitalisation and calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices under its 2014 agreement with BMV.
FIBRAs: Mexico’s REITs
A FIBRA (Fideicomiso de Infraestructura y Bienes Raíces) is Mexico's equivalent of a REIT: a trust listed on the stock exchange that owns income-producing property and passes most of its taxable income to holders, created by 2004 amendments to the Income Tax Law (LISR, articles 223 and 224 at the time). The first, Fibra Uno (FUNO11), listed on the BMV on 18 March 2011.
Index levels and share prices belong to the exchange and to S&P Dow Jones Indices, which license them, so we point to them rather than copy them: Bolsa Mexicana de Valores · S&P/BMV IPC.
