Mexiko. Murders May Be Dropping But the Cost of Crime Is Rising in Mexico
Violence in Mexico cost the country hundreds of billions of dollars in 2024 despite the country becoming moderately more peaceful, according to a recent study that underscored the continued high cost of crime in one of Latin America’s biggest economies.
The economic impact of violence amounted to $245 billion, as much as 18% of Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, according to the report by the Institute for Economics and Peace, a think tank that studies the link between peace and prosperity. (InSight Crime, USA, 28.05.2025)
