Recent economic strategy 19. Since the second half of 1983 Mexico has been facing a profound financial crisis, precipitated by worsening internal and external imbalances and leading to a weakening of economic activity. By the end of 1982 the economic deficit of the pioblic sector had risen to 17% of GDP, there was a serious balance-of-payments deficit, the financial system was showing signs of strain, the increase in prices accelerated and for the first time in several decades the gross domestic product decreased (by 0.5%). 20. In these circumstances the Mexican Government's strategy has been based on two main lines of action: the first being short-term economic adjustment and the second structural change achieved by modernizing the means of production. 21. From 1983 to 1985 the economic programme achieved positive results. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statistical report on Mexico's economic situation, discussing various economic indicators such as GDP growth rate, inflation, foreign trade, and external debt. It also mentions the government's economic strategy and the impact of a financial crisis on the country's economy. Given the focus on economic indicators and policy, it seems likely that the text is related to economic development and international trade.
