Promoting inclusive growth
Mexico is the second largest economy in Latin America. With a population of more than 120 million people, it is a modern and young country with an open economy, especially towards its American neighbor. With more than 10% of global biodiversity, it is also one of the world’s megadiverse countries.
However, the country’s rapid economic growth has alarming consequences on the environment. The flexibility of the labor market holds back its formalization and excludes a section of the population from access to social protection systems. Almost half the population is affected by violence and poverty.
Since 2009, AFD has been assisting the country with the development of a low-carbon and resilient trajectory. It is helping the federal Government and federal States build a development that benefits the population, in particular the most vulnerable groups. AFD operates through public policy loans to the Mexican State, credit lines to development banks and technical cooperation programs.
The AFD Mexico office is attached to the Central America Regional Division.
