Mexico’s current account balance in U.S. dollar terms surged in the fourth quarter of 2025, rising to 7,702 million USD, according to data updated on 25 February 2026. This marks a sharp increase from the previous quarter, when the current account stood at 2,325 million USD in the third quarter of 2025.
The more than threefold quarterly expansion in the surplus underscores a significant shift in Mexico’s external position over the closing months of 2025. While the underlying drivers are not detailed in the release, such a move typically reflects stronger export performance, softer import demand, improved services or remittance inflows, or a combination of these factors.
The latest figures will likely draw close attention from investors and policymakers monitoring Mexico’s balance of payments dynamics, as a stronger current account position can influence currency trends, external financing needs and broader macroeconomic stability heading into 2026.
