Mexico
Connectivity
score 5.54
Executive Summary
Mexico scores 5.54 out of a possible 10 on the Connectivity Scorecard for 'resource and efficiency-driven' economies. Again, this score is a relative score achieved with reference to a peer group of resource and efficiency-driven economies and is not comparable with the 'innovation-driven' economies.
Mexico’s score is roughly consistent with its ranking in terms of the UNDP’s Human Development Index and its GDP per capita. Mexico is 52nd on the Human Development Index—which is actually the highest score achieved by any of the nine resource and efficiency driven economies that we considered. In that light, Mexico’s score on the Connectivity Scorecard is slightly on the low side.
