Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Invites LDC to Highlight Latinos’ $3.6 Trillion Impact
Mexico City, MX – January 2025 – At the invitation of Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, the Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC) participated in a landmark event highlighting the economic impact of Latinos in the United States. LDC President and CEO Ana Valdez presented data showing that Latinos generate $3.6 trillion annually in GDP—ranking as the fifth-largest economy globally if considered independently. She also emphasized that Latinos are driving over 50% of new business creation in the U.S. and are projected to make up 78% of the workforce growth in the coming decade.
The presentation underscored the shared economic and cultural ties between Mexico and the United States, as 60% of Latinos in the United States trace their roots to Mexico. Ana Valdez challenged misconceptions about immigration by highlighting the essential contributions of Latino workers to the U.S. economy and the challenges posed by harmful narratives. The data showcased the Latino community as a critical driver of innovation, resilience, and economic growth.
Attended by key leaders, policymakers, and media, the event served as a platform to elevate international awareness of U.S. Latino contributions and to foster meaningful cross-border collaboration. This milestone reaffirmed the LDC’s mission to transform perceptions and highlight U.S. Latinos as an unstoppable force for progress and prosperity.

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo
"But these figures about Mexicans and Latinos, the Latino community, are astonishing. It helps a lot for this information to be known in Mexico, but also in the United States. The Mexican community contributes so much, whether they were born in Mexico and naturalized, are children of Mexican parents, or, in some cases, people who don’t have papers but also contribute."
"And, if possible, Ana, we’d like you to keep coming to "Las Mañaneras" so we can continue sharing this information."
Ana Valdez
“The perception of what Latinos are in the United States and the reality are completely different. One in five people in the United States are Latino.”
"If Latinos in the United States were a standalone economy, it would be the fifth largest in the world.”
"These qualities make us an invaluable contributor to the economies of both the United States and Mexico, highlighting the critical importance of this connection. This relationship presents significant opportunities for growth in the United States."
