\n Mexico is a leading G20 economy and a global pioneer in digital financial integration. Its capital, Mexico City (CDMX)<\/strong>, is the financial engine of the country, while Monterrey<\/strong> and Guadalajara<\/strong> serve as high-tech and industrial powerhouses. In May 2026, the economy is undergoing a “soft recovery” with a projected GDP growth of 1.6% to 1.8%, as it recalibrates following a period of stagflation. Inflation has stabilized near 4.4%. 2026 is a landmark year for Mexico’s “Cash-Lite” strategy: the federal government has mandated that all highway tolls and gasoline purchases must be paid digitally by year-end, utilizing the DiMo<\/strong> (Dinero M\u00f3vil) and CoDi<\/strong> platforms to modernize high-frequency transactions for a population of over 130 million.\n<\/p>\n
