Mexico

A nation of 131.9 million where World Bank Group operations have helped mobilise nearly $12 billion of private capital, and a $500 million guarantee is drawing more into infrastructure.

Perfect Nations values what Mexico owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

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.

  • Solution No. 20

    The Water Guarantee

    A guarantee that draws private capital into infrastructure is turned toward safe water at home.

    • 01The challengeAbout 75 million Mexicans, 57 in every hundred, have no safely managed drinking water at home.
    • 02What Perfect Nations advisesMexico should direct the World Bank credit enhancement already drawing private capital into its infrastructure toward municipal water utilities, so domestic pension savings finance safe drinking water in every state. With super intelligence, leaks and water quality can be watched across each network, so utilities show investors the water saved and the homes served.
