Despite its many critics, Mexico has some surprisingly strong economic characteristics. A great export market, a thriving manufacturing industry, natural resources, a young and productive workforce, and even things like geography are all on its side.
But the nation still has critics. And some of that criticism isn’t entirely unfair, as things like crime is still an issue. And as strong as Mexico’s legitimate economy and export market is, we still all know deep down the other export market that Mexico is home to.

@Pavor that's stupid and false. Mexico has way more resources than drugs and political corruption. For example it has a huge food industry, is one of the world prime exporters of cacao in the world. That is neither controlled by government or cartels. One of the biggest economic implosion in Mexico was the devaluation of 94. Which cut Mexican wealth in half and made the credit and many economic activities freeze. Which goes to what he is saying about relationships with credit. This caused huge defaults and interest to skyrocket which make money more expensive to get and economic mobility to slow down. Basically made 3x harder for the average citizen to get a house or car.

@Pavor which pennies, cacao farmers are pretty rich and they will be richer of they had more access to credit and the country was more industrialized to manufacture trucks domestically at a national rate. And also access to future markets which they can access sustained pricing over their crops. Please do your research instead of believing politician stories.

As a Mexican, Economy student, I can say this was pretty on point, the regional aspect of the economy is the realest thing of all, I am from the poorest state in the country, Guerrero, luckily I was born in the biggest city on the south of mexico, Acapulco, but local economy went to shit 'cause of the violence in the city, is the 2nd most insecure city in the world(homicides per capita). Now I live in one of the states with the fastest growing economies in the country, Queretaro, and the difference is night and day. And disparity of wealth is incredibly huge, but I think is advancing at faster pace now to bridge that huge gap. The Biggest problem of Mexico is/was corruption, it is what is helding back the economy, millions upon millions of dollars being taken offshore by greedy politicians and state functionaries.

I live in Mexico & it's not nearly as bad as the media in the USA makes it look. Most of the violence is between criminal factions and a typical man has the ability to live a fulfilling life. The corruption is the real issue, it's in every aspect of life here. It feels like everybody is against each other. But the work ethic is incredible. Very positive attitudes & extreme resourcefulness. The crime & corruption really holds us back, but corruption especially is too ingrained into our society, young, old, rich or poor. All willing to do anything to get ahead.

As a mexican, I totally agree with the ideas presented in this video. Just to remember, the underbanking issue has its roots not in the NAFTA, but in the early 80's, when the government nationalized the banking industry as a response to the huge debt crisis. The new privatisation occurred in the 90's and caused the collapse of the national banking sector, so the government decided to allow major foreign banking investment in the country, besides the strict "austerity" policy imposed by the USA and the IMF, wich consisted mainly on imposing high interest rates wich had perdured until today. So, the main cause of the underbanking in Mexico is the monopoly of the country's banking system and the high rates those banks charge on their customers. So, is a pretty good business for banks and a very bad one for the people. So, we have in Mexico the highest profitable foreign banking investments and at the same time, a really expensive and hard-to-get credit, due to the foreign banking monopolies in the country.

A crucial point you missed when you talk about loans and credits for low-income people is the financial education, there's an incredibly low rate of people with financial education and 90% of credits are destined to short term goods consume which means that current levels of income for most of these people are not enough to cover basic needs and any of the benefits form credits you talk about are not possible due to the credits not being used properly for investment.

Until these issues are addressed (a heavy lift, admittedly), Mexico seems likely to remain in its' current economic limbo.

A good video, but I think one important thing was left missing. While Mexico may not be a wealthy nation at all by Western standards, it is still much wealthier than most developing countries. Mexico has a GDP per capita of around $10,000. That is much more than for example south and southeast Asian nations that often have GDP/capita of around $2000-3000. In other words, Mexico is 3-5 times wealthier than these countries. Mexico is much wealthier than China as well. This leads to my second point. A lot of people are painting overoptimistic views about developing countries reaching 1st world status, but for the most part, that is almost certainly not going to happen. That is because it is much harder than often thought to reach the level of the US and western Europe. Not as many countries have actually managed to catch up with the West as is often thought. Some countries in Asia (such as South Korea, Singapore and Israel) and some in Europe (like Spain, Finland and Norway) have managed to do it. Much longer is the list of countries that have first started well, but then fallen into a so-called "middle-income trap" and stagnated as a consequence. This list includes for example all of Latin America, Iran, Thailand, South Africa, Nigeria, Russia etc. China, despite the CCP's attempts to claim otherwise, has now also stagnated. Therefore, it is certain that many of these South-east Asian nations will face the same destiny (some already have). They just started from so poor conditions that it is not uncommon to grow fast at that stage. But when you progress a little bit, sustaining that growth will become much much harder and only a few countries have managed to overcome it in a short period of time.

China's GDP per capita is around $10,000 as well and it registered growth rates of 6%-7% over the past decade so China's economy will overtake Mexico's economy soon. The South East Asian countries only became independent last century, whereas Mexico has a 200 year head start in developing their economy. Most South East Asian nations have higher economic growth and SEA nations such as Brunei and Singapore are 5 times richer than Mexico. So Mexico is falling behind as the FDI inflow into SEA is higher than Mexico and Latin America as a whole.

@@invictustv1409 China's GDP per capita is not $10,000 because of systematic manipulation of GDP figures by the government for years. Every economist who studies China's economy even a little bit knows this. This is also the reason for why China's GDP hasn't grown for 6% a year for many years. And, as I tried to explain in my original comment, just because some country starts out doing well, does not mean it will end up doing well once it develops a little.

The GDP reported by the party has been manipulated since the 2008 financial recession. It is much closer to 1-2% than the reported 6-7%. As estimated by companies and former high-ranking party officials. Which means the GDP has been way over blown by the party. This is also not taking into account the numerous bubbles in the economy. Or the financial slowdown caused by the trade war with the US. Mexico in contrast could easily reach a 6% GDP growth rate. If it could secure a favorable trade deal with the US and Canada. Whist also getting rid of it's major corruption and crime problems. Also, In the time Mexico has been independent they have suffered internal and external conflicts. Civil wars, rebellions, and foreign invasions, whilst also suffering from crime and corruption. Which is compared to South East Asia, which has been stable compared to Mexico.

Mexico is not at the same level because in some areas and states of the country, the Government has no authority, it is run by Cartels. Mexico's economy is unable to move up the value chain and produce global brands like Samsung and Toyota because the country is highly corrupt and very dependent on the USA.

@ Economics Explained I just watched 10 of your videos and I have two questions : - What do think about the theory that says energy production (EROEI of energy extraction, to be precise) is the only limiting factor in all economies since the industrial revolution? (Aside from parasite states, tax havens and other singularities of the sort) - What is your take on the claim that dematerialised production (dematerialised GDP) does not exist, or rather cannot exist on it's own and relies on a heavy material real-economy? Obviously I'd love to hear you talk about those topics in one those video of yours I really enjoy watching! Thank you for reading me. Cheers!

Worth adding that personal loans here in Mexico are ridiculous. It’s common for banks to charge 30% APY and in some cases also charge a high loan origination fee.

Great video! Is always interesting to see how Mexico looks from abroad. I am not quite sure credit is the main problem, if you compere its percentage of debt with developed countries it does look like that. But developing nations don´t pass the 25% of GDP mark often. I do think is our ancient, and inefficient tributary system (Indirect problem PEMEX) which ends up making really hard to take loans, pay interest and have enough cashflow. Thanks for your great content!
