more on Mexico City...

"Mexico City is also one of the most important economic hubs of Latin America. The city proper (Federal District) produces 21.8% of the country's gross domestic product.[25] According to a study conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Greater Mexico City (19.2 million people) had a GDP of $315 billion in 2005 (at purchasing power parity), ranking as the eighth-richest urban agglomeration in GDP in the world after the greater areas of Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Paris, London and Osaka/Kobe respectively and the richest in Latin America, in 2020 it will climb to the seventh-largest with a $608 billion placing Osaka/Kobe in the eighth position.[3][26] Mexico City alone would be the 30th largest economy in the world[27] with a higher GDP than whole countries like Sweden and Switzerland."
