Briefly, the Gulf of Mexico is hugely important to the economy of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico borders the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche and Yucatan. For the most part, these are rich oil-producing states. Substantial agriculture comes from Veracruz state. Oil is Mexico's second or third most important driver of the economy (the ratings change with oil, remitances and tourism swapping places frequently). The ports of Tampico, Veracruz and Coatzacoalcos are among the most important in the country.
The Gulf of Mexico has rich fisheries close to the coast, and on its shallow waters there are several oil fields. It is also where many commercial ports are located, such as Matamoros, Tampico and Veracruz. These service incoming and outgoing container ships to and from the Southern United States and Europe.
It is a quite fertile area, has good fisheries close to the shore and has oil and gas deposits on the gulf's sea floor.

Tourism, an exit into the Atlantic Ocean (shipping routes to Europe) and of course, vast offshore oil deposits.
