Mexico posted a current account surplus of $206 million in Q2 2025, reversing a $911 million deficit a year earlier. The improvement was driven mainly by a stronger non-oil goods balance and a narrower services deficit, partly offset by wider shortfalls in oil trade and primary income, as well as a smaller secondary income surplus. The goods and services balance showed an $887 million surplus, with a $1.72 billion goods surplus offset by an $833 million services deficit. The primary income deficit stood at $15.9 billion, reflecting $5.7 billion in credits and $21.6 billion in debits. Secondary income recorded a $15.2 billion surplus, supported by remittances of $15.3 billion, though inflows fell 11.2% year-on-year, while outflows dropped 13.6% to $299 million.
