Marcelo Ebrard, head of the Ministry of Economy (SE) , highlighted that the investment portfolio in Mexico has been increased , rising from 367.9 billion dollars (USD) to 406.8 billion dollars, resulting from the integration of strategic projects identified by the investment promotion committees in the 32 federal entities.

During the First National Investment Promotion Meeting , held this Wednesday, he said that one of the objectives is the joint work of the private sector with the public sector, and highlighted that just over a year after the launch of the Mexico Plan , the country has positioned itself as the main exporter to the United States.

In that regard, he added that Mexico pays the lowest tariffs among the United States’ trading partners. Regarding the Economic Development Hubs for Well-being , of the 14 planned, he specified that seven are already under construction, four will begin construction in the coming weeks, and three more will be added to the project.

Regarding industrial property , Ebrard indicated that the federal government will reduce delivery times from five years to one. He also specified that Nacional Financiera (Nafin) and the National Foreign Trade Bank (Bancomext) will allocate resources for innovation projects during 2026.

For his part, José Medina Mora Icaza, president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE) , highlighted the infrastructure investment announced on February 3 by the federal government, which includes 5.6 trillion pesos from 2026 to the end of the current six-year term, 772 billion pesos for this year, “where there are eight strategic sectors, a little more than half in energy, because energy is the spearhead, we need energy so that investment arrives in other sectors, but also investment in highways, in health, in hospitals, in education.”

He emphasized that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as of September 2025 totaled 41 billion dollars, “a figure more or less similar to all of 2024, with one big difference: in 2024 there was only 7% new investment, while in the ninth month of last year it was 15%; this means that foreign companies are trusting in our country, they are betting on investing in Mexico.”

Altagracia Gómez Sierra, coordinator of the Advisory Council for Economic, Regional, and Relocation Development, said that Mexico must accelerate projects and strengthen public-private coordination to reach the investment target equivalent to 25% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) . She emphasized that the Mexico Plan presented a national vision that seeks to empower Mexico through industrial policy, planning, and collaboration among businesses, academia, and government authorities.

He recalled the work that has been done with various federal government agencies to reduce red tape, provide energy certainty, increase national content in public procurement and combat smuggling, and highlighted advances in economic and commercial matters such as tax incentives for relocation, deductibility for technical education, development of industrial parks, and investments in housing.

Meanwhile, Roberto Lazzeri Montaño, CEO of Nafin and Bancomext, said that development banks not only provide financing, but also multiply the impact of every peso invested.

In that context, he pointed out that Nafin and Bancomext, together with commercial banks, will boost financing for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), with guarantees on loans of up to 20 million for priority sectors of the Mexico Plan, up to 80% for first-time loans and a reduction in factoring financing costs.

She also announced the reinstatement of the 32 constructive councils and the relaunch of three programs to reach areas currently underserved by the financial sector. She stated that they are promoting specific programs for women entrepreneurs , specifically “women exporters, provided that up to 51% of the capital is owned by women and they control the formal businesses and micro-businesses. Up to three million pesos for entrepreneurs, 30 million pesos for exporters, and up to 500,000 pesos for micro-businesses with at least one year of operation.”

Similarly, the Impulsora de Innovación México (Mexico Innovation Promoter ) announced a program that is an implementation tool of the Mexico Plan, which coordinates financing, technical support, and co-investment schemes to mobilize public and private capital towards strategic sectors and projects with high economic impact at the technological level, which will mobilize a total investment of 1.6 billion pesos.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized the infrastructure investment she announced on February 3rd, “ which will allow us to boost investment in energy, highways, airports, ports, hospitals, and schools, enabling development with well-being .”

He also noted that on Wednesday he presented investments by Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) totaling 425 billion pesos. “ Pemex performed very well in 2025 thanks to various schemes that were also jointly developed between the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) . And this year, not only in oil but also in all aspects of oil processing and gas, we will boost investment in energy.”
