Location of Mexico

Mexico is a federal republic in the southern half of North America. Mexico has the fifteenth largest nominal GDP and the eleventh largest by purchasing power parity. The Mexican economy is strongly linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners, especially the United States.[1][2] Mexico was the first Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), joining in 1994. It is classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank[3] and a newly industrialized country by several analysts.[4][5][6][7] By 2050, Mexico could become the world's fifth or seventh largest economy.[8][9] The country is considered both a regional power and middle power,[10][11][12][13] and is often identified as an emerging global power.[14] Mexico is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G8+5, the G20, the Uniting for Consensus and the Pacific Alliance.
