      <div style="color: #000000;">&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">This proxy statement (the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221;) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of The Mexico Equity and Income Fund, Inc. (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) for use at the
        Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the &#8220;Meeting&#8221;) to be held on December 14, 2022 at 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Blank Rome LLP, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10020, and at any and all adjournments or
        postponements thereof.&#160;&#160;A form of proxy for each of the holders of shares of the Fund&#8217;s common stock (the &#8220;Stockholders&#8221;) is enclosed herewith.&#160;&#160;This Proxy Statement and accompanying forms of proxy are being first mailed to Stockholders on or about
        November 18, 2022.</div>
      <div style="color: #000000;">&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">The presence, in person or by proxy, of Stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting (i.e., the presence of a majority of the outstanding shares of common
        stock of the Fund on the record date, October 18, 2022) is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to
        approve any of the proposals are not received, the chairman of the Meeting may adjourn the Meeting, or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to a date not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the
        original record date to permit further solicitation of proxies.&#160;&#160;Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy.&#160;&#160;A Stockholder vote may be taken on one or more
        of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.&#160;&#160;The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote &#8220;FOR&#8221; or &#8220;AGAINST&#8221;
        any such proposal in their discretion.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;"><font style="color: #000000;">Stockholders can vote by Internet by going to the following website address, </font><font style="color: #0000FF;"><u>www.proxyvote.com</u></font><font style="color: #000000;">; by
          telephone, using the toll-free number listed on the proxy card; or by mail by completing the proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided.&#160;&#160;If the enclosed proxy is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered,
          that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the Fund, by the execution of a later-dated proxy, by the Fund's receipt of a subsequent valid internet or telephonic vote, or by attending the
          Meeting and voting in person.&#160;&#160;To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Fund prior to the Meeting and must indicate the Stockholder&#8217;s name and account number.&#160;&#160;Unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications
          therein and, unless specified to the contrary, will be voted &#8220;FOR&#8221; the election of the nominees for Class III Directors and &#8220;FOR&#8221; the</font>&#160;<font style="color: #000000;">amendment of the Fund's fundamental investment restriction related to
          borrowing or issuing senior securities.&#160;</font></div>
      <div style="color: #000000;">&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">In general, abstentions and broker non-votes (reflected by signed but unvoted proxies as to one or more proposals), as defined below, count for purposes of obtaining a quorum but do not count as votes
        cast with respect to any proposal where the broker does not have discretion.&#160;&#160;With respect to a proposal requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding shares of common stock, the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes
        is the same as a vote against such proposal.&#160;&#160;Otherwise, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of a proposal.&#160;&#160;Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes would have the effect of voting against Proposal 2, but would
        have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. Broker non-votes occur when shares, held in the name of the broker or nominees for whom an executed proxy is received by the Fund, are not voted on a proposal because voting instructions have not been
        received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power.</div>

      <div style="color: #000000;">&#160;</div>
      <div style="color: #000000;">Proposal 1 (to elect two Class III Directors to the Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of the Fund&#8217;s common stock voting in person or by
        proxy on such Proposal, provided a quorum is present. A &#8220;majority of the votes&#8221; cast means that the number of shares voted &#8220;FOR&#8221; a Director&#8217;s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that Director&#8217;s election. For purposes of
        the election of Directors, (i) votes cast shall include direction to withhold authority and (ii) abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes, but otherwise will have no effect on the majority vote required
        for such Director.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="color: #000000;">Proposal 2 (to amend the Fund's fundamental investment restriction related to borrowing or issuing senior securities) requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund as
        defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). This means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at the Special Meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or
        represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker "non-votes" will have the effect of votes "against" Proposal 2.</div>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">In accordance with the Fund&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation, the terms of the Fund&#8217;s Board of Directors are staggered.&#160;&#160;The Board of Directors is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III,
        each class having a term of three years.&#160;&#160;Each year the term of office of one Class expires.&#160;&#160;The effect of these staggered terms is to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund by delaying the replacement of a
        majority of the Board of Directors.</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The Board of Directors has nominated Glenn Goodstein and Gerald Hellerman to be elected by the holders of the Fund&#8217;s common stock to serve as Class III Directors of the Fund.&#160;&#160;Each of Mr. Goodstein and Mr. Hellerman

      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">In the event that one or all of the nominees becomes unavailable for election for any presently unforeseen reason, the persons named in the form of proxy will vote for any successor nominee who shall be
        designated by the present Board of Directors.&#160;&#160;Each Class III Director shall be elected by a majority of the shares voting at the Meeting.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">At the Meeting, the holders of the Fund&#8217;s common stock will be asked to vote for the election of Mr. Goodstein and Mr. Hellerman as Class III Directors.&#160;&#160;If elected, Mr. Goodstein and Mr. Hellerman
        will each serve until the Fund&#8217;s annual meeting of Stockholders in 2025 or until each of their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.&#160;&#160;If elected, Mr. Goodstein and Mr. Hellerman have each consented to serve as Director of the Fund

        not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Director, or particular factor, being indicative of the Board&#8217;s effectiveness.&#160;&#160;The Board currently does not have a formal diversity

        Board has considered a variety of criteria, including, among other things: character and integrity; ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided, to exercise effective business judgment in protecting stockholder
        interests and to interact effectively with the other Directors, the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and the Fund&#8217;s independent registered public accounting firm (&#8220;independent auditors&#8221;); and willingness and ability to commit the time
        necessary to perform the duties of a Director.&#160;&#160;Each Director&#8217;s ability to perform his duties effectively is evidenced by his experience or achievements in one or more of the following areas: management or board experience in the investment
        management industry or companies in other fields, educational background and professional training; and experience as a Director of the Fund.&#160;&#160;Information as of October 18, 2022 indicating the specific experience, skills, attributes and
        qualifications of each Director, which led to the Board&#8217;s determination that the Director should serve in this capacity, is provided below.</div>

      <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">RELATING TO BORROWING</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The 1940 Act requires registered investment companies, like the Fund, to have "fundamental" investment policies governing specified investment practices. Investment companies may also voluntarily designate policies
        relating to other investment practices as fundamental. "Fundamental" investment policies can be changed only by a stockholder vote. The 1940 Act requires a fund to recite in its registration statement, among other things, its policy related to
        borrowing or issuing senior securities.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Currently, the Fund has a fundamental investment restriction that permits the Fund to borrow only for certain purposes, including, for example, for temporary or emergency purposes, up to 10% of its total assets, but
        which does not permit the Fund to borrow for investment purposes (i.e., leverage). Although there are no current plans to do so, the Fund's portfolio management team would like the ability in the future to issue senior securities, use leverage
        and/or to borrow in excess of 10% of the Fund's total assets. The Fund's Board has approved amending the Fund's fundamental investment restriction related to borrowing or issuing senior securities to permit the Fund to issue senior securities or
        borrow for any purpose, including investment purposes, up to the limit imposed by the 1940 Act, which is 331/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets, except with respect to amounts borrowed for emergency purposes, which are not subject to the
        331/3% limit so long as they are repaid within 60 days and meet certain other criteria discussed further below. The Board is asking stockholders of the Fund to approve the proposed change.</div>
      <div><br>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions related to borrowing or issuing senior securities are set out below:</div>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The Fund&#8217;s portfolio management believes that the use of leverage may help enhance returns in the long term and could thereby be beneficial to stockholders. Although it has no current intention to do so, if Proposal 2
        is approved by the Fund&#8217;s stockholders, the Fund would be permitted to engage in transactions such as borrowing through a credit facility, reverse repurchase agreements and issuance of convertible and non-convertible preferred securities and debt
        securities, which have the effect of leverage. The risks of leverage use are described below.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">The costs of leverage, which would be dependent on the terms of the particular method of leverage utilized by the Fund, would increase the total expense ratio of the Fund. Any leverage arrangements entered into by the
        Fund would be subject to approval by the Fund's Board.</div>
      <div><br>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Pursuant to the Fund's investment advisory agreement with&#160;Pichardo Asset Management, S.A. DE C.V. (the &#8220;Adviser&#8221;), the Adviser is paid a monthly base fee, accrued daily at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund&#8217;s average
        daily net assets, which is subject to a performance fee adjustment.&#160; Because the advisory fees are calculated based on the Fund&#8217;s net assets, the use of leverage itself would not result in an increase in advisory fees payable to the Adviser;
        however, if such leverage were convertible into common stock, the Fund&#8217;s net assets would increase upon such conversion which would result in increased advisory fees payable by the Fund.</div>

      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is not permitted to issue senior securities if, immediately after the issuance of such senior securities, the Fund would have an asset coverage ratio (as defined in the 1940 Act) of less
        than 300% with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness (i.e., for every dollar of indebtedness outstanding, the Fund is required to have at least three dollars of assets) or less than 200% with respect to senior securities
        representing preferred stock (i.e., for every dollar of preferred stock outstanding, the Fund is required to have at least two dollars of assets). The 1940 Act also provides that the Fund may not declare distributions or purchase its stock
        (including through tender offers) if, immediately after doing so, it will have an asset coverage ratio of less than 300% or 200%, as applicable. Under the 1940 Act, certain short-term borrowings (such as for cash management purposes) are not
        subject to these limitations if (i) repaid within 60 days, (ii) not extended or renewed and (iii) not in excess of 5% of the total assets of the Fund.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Leverage involves certain additional risks, including the risk that the cost of leverage may exceed the return earned by the Fund on the proceeds of such leverage. The use of leverage will increase the volatility of
        changes in the Fund's net asset value, market price and distributions. In the event of a general market decline in the value of assets in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional
        assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage. Financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and severe losses. To the extent that the Fund uses leverage during a period of market decline, any losses experienced by the Fund
        would be exacerbated. During a time of improving value in securities the Fund holds, leverage could enhance Fund returns.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">In addition, funds borrowed pursuant a credit facility may constitute a substantial lien and burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation.
        In the event of an event of default under a loan facility, lenders may have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if any such default is not cured, the lenders may be
        able to control the liquidation as well. A leverage facility agreement may include covenants that impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition requirements and limits on certain investments, such as illiquid investments or
        derivatives, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. However, because the Fund's use of leverage is expected to be relatively modest and the Fund generally is not expected to engage in derivatives transactions, the
        Adviser currently does not believe that these restrictions would significantly impact its management of the Fund.</div>

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;"><font style="font-weight: bold;">Audit Committee.</font>&#160;&#160;The Board has established an Audit Committee that acts pursuant to a written charter and whose responsibilities are generally: (i) to oversee
        the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Fund and its internal control over financial reporting; (ii) to oversee the quality and integrity of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; and (iii) to approve,

      <div style="text-indent: 36pt; color: #000000;">Although the Audit Committee is expected to take a detached and questioning approach to the matters that come before it, the review of the Fund&#8217;s financial statements by the Audit Committee is not an
        audit, nor does the Audit Committee&#8217;s review substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund&#8217;s management for preparing, or the independent auditors for auditing, the Fund&#8217;s financial statements.&#160;&#160;Members of the Audit Committee are not full-time
        employees of the Fund and, in serving on the Audit Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors.&#160;&#160;As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct &#8220;field
        work&#8221; or other types of auditing or accounting reviews.&#160;&#160;In discharging their duties, the members of the Audit Committee are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data,
        if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Fund whom such Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Director
        reasonably believes are within the person&#8217;s professional or expert competence; or (3) a Board committee of which the Director is not a member.</div>

        the Fund that may interfere with the exercise of his independence from management of the Fund, and each is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (&#8220;NYSE&#8221;) applicable to closed-end funds.&#160;&#160;During the fiscal

        the 1940 Act, meets the independence and experience requirements of the NYSE applicable to closed-end funds and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board; (ii) whether or not such person has any
        relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the Adviser or other service providers or their affiliates; (iii) whether or not such person is willing to serve,
        and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board member; (iv) such person&#8217;s judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity
        and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (v) the interplay of such person&#8217;s experience with the experience of other Board members; and (vi) the extent to which such person would be a desirable addition to the Board and any
        committees thereof.</div>
