Mexican exports hit record $81B in July, up nearly 44% on AI-driven manufacturing boom

Mexico's foreign trade set new records in July, with exports surpassing US$80 billion for the first time ever, driven by sales of computer and electronic equipment to the United States. The surge in exports, up 43.7% year-on-year, is largely attributed to investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure, marking the largest growth for any month since May 2021.

Non-automotive manufacturing, which totaled nearly US$60 billion, represented 73% of total foreign sales and contributed significantly to the strong export performance.
