Mexico’s export revenue rose 24.6% annually in the first six months of 2026, reaching $389.72 billion, driven by a 37.6% surge in non-automotive manufacturing exports. The country recorded a $9.85 billion trade surplus, with over 80% of exports directed to the United States, where it has been the top exporter since 2023. Mining sector exports also increased by 78.6%.

International tourism to Mexico declined in May for the second consecutive month, with a 10% reduction in air travel and significant stock price drops for airlines like Aeroméxico and Viva Aerobus. Airport operators such as ASUR, GAP, and OMA reported year-on-year declines in international passenger traffic, attributed to violence in February, high fuel prices, engine supply issues, and reduced U.S. demand linked to anti-immigration policies.
