A couple things that Mexico can do to raise money on the global capital market is to use either debt capital or equity capital. Debt capital usually comes in the form of loans, while equity typically comes in the form of cash in exchange for stock ownership.

Debt financing usually involves an entity borrowing money from a lender and paying it back at a later date. Raising equity usually occurs when selling shares of stock to investors. The advantage of this method is that Mexico would not have to worry about regular interest payments on debt as well as fluctuation of exchange rates. The only downside is that selling shares of stock would result in the dilution of equity for Mexican firms. I would personally recommend debt financing that way Mexico would not be diluting the equity of their firms, while also being pressured to make sure that firms remain profitable in order to…

Even as their compatriots departed, the colony's Native American neighbors were concerned about the poor condition of their crops. The drought persisted for two more years and created a serious food crisis both for the local Croatan people and the colonists. Since the latter were heavily dependent on the Croatan, this very dependence must have aggravated already serious food shortages.
