Mexico

Summary
Mexico’s level of digital dependence has increased in recent years. The DDI value has increased from 0.73 in 2010 to 0.80 in 2023, indicating high dependence in multiple dimensions. Notably, the ICT Patent sector has shown a lack of autonomy, with a value of 1.0 since 2010. Mexico is also highly dependent on foreign platforms, with a value of 0.97 in 2023. However, its bilateral dependence on US ICT goods remains extremely low, declining from 0.14 in 2010 to 0.11 in 2023. In contrast, its bilateral dependence on Chinese ICT goods remains remarkably high, reaching 0.97 in 2023.

Policies
Mexico's digital policies covered a variety of fields between 2020 and 2026, including digital public infrastructure and semiconductor production. A project that stands out is "La Nube MX", Mexico's government cloud project: By processing federal data independently from foreign tech companies, the cloud is a central part of Mexico's push for digital sovereignty.
