Trade Commission of Mexico Newsletter July/ August 2003

Page 3

Mexico's most dynamic sectors have been in non-oil related manufactured goods. In fact, manufactured goods accounted for more than 85% of total exports. Exports represent 30% of GDP and contribute to half of Mexico's economic growth. More evidence of Mexico's economic growth is the fact that it has become one of the world's largest apparel exporters, and ranks as the world's 11th largest  agriculture producer, 9th mining producer, and 6th natural gas producer. This renewed economic dynamism has created momentum for commercial and direct foreign investment growth due to the attractive value of the peso, privatization, modernization of industry and further reductions in import duties for Mexican products under NAFTA.
For manufacturers and importers, Mexico represents opportunity for a variety of reasons as we head into the new Century. It offers competitively priced labor, prolific and qualified technicians, abundant natural resources, raw materials, industrial sites, developed urban areas and a growing infrastructure. Mexico is the natural  gateway to the vast North American and Latin American markets. For more information, please contact: The Trade Commission of Mexico in Los Angeles, Tel.  (213) 628-1220  Fax.
