Summary/Abstract: Mexico has a very close relationship with the United States economy, the country's main partner in trade, investment, and remittance collection from workers from the 32 states of Mexico who emigrated to develop their productive potential in the largest and most industrialized economy. The population has a per capita income exceeding $60,000 annually, compared to less than $15,000 in Mexico. The income gap contributes to more Mexicans seeking opportunities in the United States market, increasing the flow of remittances within Mexico. The objective of this research is to explain this dependence through the amounts of trade, investment, and remittance flows from the United States to Mexico from 2000 to 2024. To this end, a documentary analysis was used to retrieve selective information from different sources to show the value and share of trade, investment, and remittances.
