Exports increase GDP — for all three countries.
Why: GDP = C + I + G + (X − M). Exports (X) add directly to GDP if they represent additional production sold abroad.
- Mexico: Large export manufacturing (autos, electronics) raises output and GDP.
- Brazil: Commodity and agricultural exports expand production and add to GDP.
- Cuba: Exports (nickel, medical services, tourism receipts, sugar, etc.) bring foreign revenue and count in GDP.
Caveats: If goods exported simply displace domestic consumption with no extra output, GDP may not change. Export earnings can also be offset by higher imports, profit repatriation, price/volatility effects, or structural issues (Dutch disease), which affect welfare even if GDP rises.
