00:00:00 Mexico is ranked 15th on the list of the 25 richest countries in the world, with an economy that is mainly based on trade and commerce. The economy has been stable since the early 1990s, and has reduced inflation and interest rates to historic lows. There are still large gaps between the wealthy and poor in the country, and some of the problems not yet resolved include improvements to infrastructure, modernization of the tax system, and improvements to labor laws and income inequality. Fiscal revenue from exports and imports makes up 19% of GDP, which is lower than the OECD average but still high. Mexico's main industries are modern service-oriented industries and industrial sectors in development, and its main exports are products of these industries.
00:05:00 Mexico is a country with a very diverse economy, which produces a variety of products, from technological to agricultural. Mexico's recent economic reforms, including pension and judicial reform, have been debated in the current congress. Mexico was ranked #15 on the Forbes Global 2000 list of the world's largest companies in 2016, with a workforce of 52.8 million. Despite this growth, Mexico is also facing economic issues, such as inequality of income and poverty. One person in Mexico earns, on average, hundreds of millions of dollars, while many people live in poverty. The country's history, under Porfirio Díaz, is marked by rapid industrialization and capital accumulation by foreign companies. The Mexican president, Porfirio Díaz, brought an economic growth unprecedented during the last fourth of the 19th century. This growth was accompanied by investment from abroad and the influx of European immigrants. The period of 1930 to 1970, known as the Mexican Miracle, was marked by economic growth and the development of a efficient railway system. This growth was interrupted by the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which transformed the political, social, and economic structure of Mexico. The government during this time attempted to include social development in its policies.
00:10:00 This documentary examines Mexico's economy during the presidency of López Portillo (1976-1982). The government decided to borrow money from international markets to invest in a state-owned oil company, which seemed to provide long-term income for social welfare. This method of replacing imports with domestic production produced a notable increase in public spending and President Lopez Portillo announced that he had arrived at the time to manage prosperity as Mexico multiplied its production of oil to become the fourth-largest exporter in the world in the period 1981-1982. The international oil prices collapsed suddenly in 1982, and interest rates rose internationally in 1982, the year President Lopez Portillo finished his administration. Fiscal and monetary policies which had been in place since the industrialization era of the 1980s began to liberalize, leading to a significant decline in the export-led growth of the Mexican economy in the early 1990s. However, by the late 1990s, liberalization of the trade regime had already been underway, as the United States and Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1992. Subsequently, Mexican state-owned companies were privatized, the telephone company Telmex became a private monopoly, and energy companies were also privatized. The financial system which had
00:15:00 This video, which is based on a speech given by President Bill Clinton in 1993, examines the Mexican economy and its history of economic instability. It details the various policies Clinton put in place in order to help stabilize the economy, including the implementation of NAFTA and the welfare reform of 1996. The video also discusses the impact of globalization on the Mexican economy, and how it has helped to bring about some positive changes. However, it also points out that Mexico is still very far from reaching its full potential economically. Inflation is low and the stock market is stable, but there is still a large gap between the rich and poor, and the country's overall development is lower than it could be.
00:20:00 The video looks at Mexico's economy over the years, and how the poverty rate has been increasing, though inflation is higher than 10% most of the time. Mexico has made significant improvements in various economic indicators since the 1990s, though the country still faces the problem of poverty. Mexico's poverty is measured in terms of poverty levels such as nutrition, clean water, shelter, education, medical care, and social security. There are two types of poverty in Mexico: moderate and extreme. Less than 2% of Mexico's population lives below the international poverty line set by the World Bank, which is based on 2013 figures. The government of Mexico estimates that 33% of the Mexican population lives in moderate poverty, and 9% lives in extreme poverty. This leaves 42% of the Mexican population living below the national poverty line. The government of Mexico has tried to reduce poverty by implementing poverty relief programs through privatization. However, these recent changes have allowed Mexico to remain the largest economy in Latin America and one of the world's richest countries. Mexico's inequality has decreased in the last decade, but remains high when measured by absolute or relative terms. The government spends only a third of what is necessary to alleviate poverty and develop social services, according to the World Bank.
00:25:00 Mexico was the fourth-largest receiver of foreign remittances, in 2017, and remittances sent by Mexican residents abroad, mainly in the United States, reached 28.5 billion dollars. Remittances have grown more than twice since 1997 and electronic transfers now account for 86% of remittance transactions. The Mexican government is aware of the needs of migrant workers and began issuing an improved version of its consular passport, MHS, in English in 2017. This document now accepted as a valid identification card in 32 U.S. states, as well as in hundreds of police stations, cities, and counties, as well as in numerous financial institutions. Regional disparities and economic inequality are characteristic of the Mexican economy, although all constituent states of the Mexican Federation have an HDI of over 70 and a development level close to the middle-to-high development range. The states in the north and center of the country have higher HDI levels than those in the south. New Leon, Jalisco, and the District of Federal Mexico have HDI levels similar to those of European countries, while Oaxaca and Chiapas have HDI levels similar to those of China or Vietnam at the municipal level. Regional disparities in economic development remain large, with the Federal District
00:30:00 Mexico's economy is evaluated in this documentary, with focus on the per capita incomes of different states and sectors. Chiapas has the lowest per capita income, at just over $3,000. Oaxaca has the highest per capita income, at over $4,000. Mexican states with the highest per capita incomes were Guerrero, at $6,000, and Chihuahua, at $5,500. The GDP and per capita income of Mexico were estimated at $134 trillion in 2006 and $10,600, respectively. The sector with the most impact on the economy is services, at 75 percent of GDP, followed by industry, at 25 percent. The agricultural sector accounts for only 39 percent of GDP. The labor force in Mexico is estimated at 38 million, of which 18 percent is in agriculture, 24 percent in industrial sectors, and 58 percent in services. The principal source of foreign income in Mexico is remittances, which account for 31 percent of GDP. The agricultural sector has been declining in importance over time and now resembles that of developed nations in that it plays a smaller role in GDP. The main advantage of Mexico's economy is its horticulture, which employs two thirds of all agricultural workers.
00:35:00 Mexican economy is stagnating, with the agricultural sector leading the way. The documentary discusses the reasons for this stagnation, focusing on the displacement of farmers from Maize production. Although the agricultural sector has seen a surge in production due to the lack of available labor in other sectors, the horticultural industry has not absorbed the displaced workers. It is estimated that 600,000 workers have been displaced from Maize production. The documentary also discusses the country's low consumption of potatoes, papas, and sugarcane. The main producers of papas are in Mexico's six major states, with Puebla, Michoacán, and Morelos accounting for 86% of the total. The industrial sector has benefited greatly from the liberalization of the economy in 2000, with nearly 50% of all exports coming from industrial companies. The automotive industry is Mexican and has developed different standards of quality than other Latin American and developing countries. The sector produces technologically complex parts and participates in some research and development activities. One example is the new Volkswagen Jetta model, which has 70% of its parts designed in Mexico. However, new automotive companies are emerging, and the traditional auto manufacturers, such as Ford and Chrysler, have been gradually withdrawing from Mexico. Toyota, Honda,
00:40:00 The Mexican economy is diversified and includes a number of large and well-known industries, such as automobile manufacturing, electric motor vehicles, and cement production. Some of the country's major industries also include beverage production, alcoholic beverages, and retail stores. The Mexican aerospace industry is growing and is currently being built by foreign companies, such as Mitsubishi and Pratt Whitney, among others. Electronics are the largest sector of the Mexican economy and are responsible for 30% of Mexico's exports. Mexican companies, such as Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, and Sharp, are among the world's leading manufacturers of televisions and other electronics.
00:45:00 Mexico is a major producer of televisions and other electronics, due to its position as the world's leading television manufacturer. In the electronics industry, Mexico is well-known for its leading position in the production of electronic components, as well as its proximity to key markets in North and South America. Mexican companies, such as Samsung and Lenovo, also produce a variety of electronics products in Mexico. In 2007, Mexico had 580,000 engineers in engineering disciplines such as electronics, accounting for over one-third of the total engineering workforce in Latin America. Mexican companies have also begun to produce more advanced products, such as video game consoles and high-end electronic appliances. Mexican companies operating in Mexico as joint ventures with foreign companies have been successful in keeping production costs low, while maintaining a strong hold on the market.

This video analyzes the economy of Mexico, focusing on the country's strengths and weaknesses. Mexico's banking system has recovered from the devaluation of the peso in 1994-95, with loans to the public and private sectors both increasing. The credit sector represents only 22% of Mexico's GDP, significantly below Chile's 70% and the United States' 52%. Mexican banks are also competing with independent commercial banks, stock exchanges, and mutual funds in the country's stock market. The Mexican market for securities is unique in that it is based on a consolidated index of 35 stocks. The main performers over the past decade have been America Child (parent company of America Movil, the largest mobile phone company in Latin America) and Grupo Bimbo (the largest bakery chain in the world). Investment fears have kept U.S. stock markets below Mexican levels, despite recent gains.

01:00:00 Mexico is a country with a strong economy, with sectors such as banking, telecommunications, and public administration strong. In 2001, it replaced Brazil as the largest services sector in Latin America in terms of dollars. Tourism is one of the most important industries in Mexico, and it is the fourth most important source of foreign currency for the country. Mexico is the eighth country most visited in the world, with over 20 million tourists annually. The tourism industry in Mexico is very important since the 1960s, and has been strongly promoted by the Mexican government. As a country without oil refineries, Mexico has traditionally been among the most visited countries in the world. According to the World Tourism Organization, Mexico is the second most visited country in America after the United States. There are seasonal peaks of tourism in Mexico during December and the middle of summer, when many beach destinations turn into popular tourist destinations for students from the United States. The majority of tourists to Mexico come from the United States and Canada. Other Latin American countries, as well as Europe and Asia, are also represented in Mexico's tourism industry. Mexico's main tourist destinations are the following: the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City, Aztec ruins at the Templo Mayor adjacent to the Metropolitan
