The country’s capital and the states of Mexico, Nuevo León, Jalisco and Guanajuato contributed almost two-fifths of the Mexican economy in 2023, a year in which the southeast continued with greater dynamism, reported the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi). .
According to the autonomous body, the national gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 at market price was 31 trillion 855 billion pesos.
Of that amount, Mexico City contributed 14.8 percent, while the state of Mexico contributed 9.1 percent, so that both states are responsible for almost a quarter of the economy’s progress.
The Inegi indicated that in 2023 the national GDP observed a variation of 3.3 percent in real terms, compared to that reported in 2022.
In the same period, 30 entities registered increases in their GDP, while Coahuila and Tamaulipas had a negative variation of 0.7 and 0.1 percent, respectively.
The report on the gross domestic product by federal entity (GDP) for 2023 indicates that the states with the most growth were Quintana Roo, with a rate of 13.2 percent; San Luis Potosí, with 8; Oaxaca, with 7.6; Campeche, with 7.5; Aguascalientes, with 6.2; Yucatán, with 5.4; Sonora, with 4.7, and Mexico City, with 4.3 percent.
