Economy of Mexico

Mexico boasts a developing market economy, and according to the IMF, it is the 15th largest economy in the world in terms of nominal GDP and the 12th largest by purchasing power parity. The Mexican economy has achieved unprecedented macroeconomic stability by reducing inflation and interest rates to record lows and increasing per capita income. However, substantial disparities persist between population segments, particularly between urban and rural populations and the rich and the poor.

The service sector constitutes the majority of Mexico's economy, followed by the industrial sector and the agricultural sector in a distant third. Remittances represent Mexico's most significant source of foreign income.
