Government debt can be subdivided into two categories: external debt and domestic debt. External debt is the outstanding debt owed from the Mexican government to foreign governments (such as the United States or Europe), banks, institutions and individuals. Domestic debt is the amount of debt owed to Mexican banks, institutions and individuals within the country.

Mexico's government debt can be broken down as follows:

  • External debt: US$46,208.8 million.
  • Domestic debt: US$192,218.7 million.
  • Total Mexican debt: US$238,427.6 million.

Now, the indebtedness level is the percentage of debt compared as a percentage of the total sum of products and services sold in the country within a year (also named Gross Domestic Product - GDP). Mexico's Gross Domestic Product is valued at US$788,840 million (est. 2009).

Therefore Mexico's debt level is:

  • 5.9% of its GDP in foreign debt.
  • 24.4% of its GDP in domestic debt.
  • 30.3% of its GDP for total public debt.

What will increased budget surpluses do to the national debt?

Increased budget surpluses can help reduce the national debt by allowing the government to pay down existing debt obligations rather than financing new debt. When the government runs a surplus, it generates more revenue than it spends, enabling it to allocate excess funds toward repaying principal on outstanding loans. This can lead to a decrease in the overall debt level, lower interest payments over time, and potentially improve the country's fiscal stability. However, the impact on national debt also depends on overall economic conditions and government fiscal policies.


What happens to the US Debt of you reduce the deficit?

Reducing the deficit can lead to a slower increase in the national debt, as a smaller deficit means the government is borrowing less money. If the deficit is reduced consistently over time, it could stabilize or even decrease the overall debt level relative to the country's GDP. However, the impact on actual debt levels depends on various factors, including economic growth, interest rates, and government spending policies. Ultimately, a reduced deficit contributes to better fiscal health in the long run.


How is the debt held by the public different from the total public debt?

The debt held by the public refers to the portion of the total public debt that is held by individuals, corporations, and foreign governments. It represents the amount of money that the government owes to these entities. On the other hand, the total public debt includes both the debt held by the public and the debt held by government accounts, such as the Social Security Trust Fund.
