If you are looking for data about Mexico you'll probably find it here. However, this short guide will help you find the basic "must-see" datasets.

Mexico Country Profile Dashboard

The starting point is our Mexico Macro Dashboard, a fully automatized Dashboard presenting up-to-date data. You can catch a glimpse and get a broad idea of the latest developments.

The Charts are fully integrated with our datasets, so if you want to replicate any of them, you can download the source Dataset, or just click the button “Clone Chart” to reproduce the Chart inside our Platform.

The main sources for the data used on this Dashboard come from the Central Bank of Mexico (Banxico), the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and Mexico's Department of the Treasury (SHCP). The data is fully integrated with our database which means once the sources release the data, our database will be instantaneously updated on our platform.

Our Dashboard contains five sections: Activity, Prices, Money and Banking, Fiscal, External Sector and Financial.
