• Annual GDP growth is at 4-5%.
• Foreign direct investment (FDI) is rising steadily and totaled $16 billion in 2004.
• Annual inflation is at a practical rate of 3-4%.
• Mexico’s income per capita rate of $6,770 is the highest in Latin America, thereby making it a middle-income country.
• Institutional investors including California’s public pension fund, Calpers, are investing in Mexico real estate through mutual funds.
• Mexico bonds are included in JP Morgan’s Government Bond Index favored by institutional investors and both Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s rate Mexico’s sovereign debt as investment grade.
