Keep it simple. Sometimes there is a major industry (e.g., fishing, a dominant crop, etc.). Measure that industry activity carefully and take that to be highly correlated with GDP. At the same time, get a handle on the quantity of money. Finally, look for the relationship between the rate of change in activity and the rate of change in money. Also, consider focusing on inflation. See the following: Preprint Money, Inflation, and a Macro Model
Monetary policy and quantitative tools are the best. In Mexico, the objective of monetary policy is to maintain price stability, that is, to control inflation. Its instrumentation is carried out by the central bank in the financial markets. The Bank of Mexico uses an inflation target scheme setting a goal.
The tool used by the Bank of Mexico, in order not to deviate from its inflation target, is the target interest rate, also known as the overnight interbank interest rate.
