“You know how to bring private capital to the table. Now bring safe water to every Mexican tap.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect Nations Read the full letter

Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can lift Mexico closer to Perfect Capita.

  • 01

    The People

    131.9mCitizens, 2025

    80 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish.

  • 02

    The Land

    50.6%Of land in farms and pasture

    The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.

  • 03

    The Forest

    34.2%Of land under forest

    Standing forest holds the water, soil and carbon that the world will pay to keep.

  • 04

    The Water

    3,180 m³Renewable fresh water per person

    Enough to supply every home, once it is stored, treated and piped.

  • 05

    The Power

    23.4%Of energy from renewables, 2021

    Sun, wind, water and biomass already carry part of the load; the rest is the opportunity.

What each asset is worth, and how far it can carry Mexico toward Perfect Capita, is the question our research and our guests take up below.

The Living LineThe poverty line measures income. The Living Line measures a life: food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and livelihood. Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards. Coverage scores each standard strictly out of 100, and a nation is held at its weakest: Mexico at 43, by water, with education at 52.4 and shelter at 62.7 next.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Mexico. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

The question every guest answers
“What does Mexico already own, and how could it pay for a decent life for every citizen?”

We are looking for the people with real stories from Mexico: the leaders who built something that works, and the keepers of local knowledge who know how their communities live, cope and thrive.
