MEXICO CITY — Mexico has announced a record-breaking inflow of $406.8 billion in investment, a development hailed by President Claudia Sheinbaum as a sign of confidence in the country’s economic future. The resources, stemming from 2,539 projects across diverse sectors, are expected to generate 1.63 million jobs nationwide, reinforcing Mexico’s position as a key player in global markets.
Sheinbaum emphasized that her administration is committed to providing certainty for investors, highlighting Mexico’s stability, strategic location, and growing role in nearshoring as companies seek alternatives to Asia. “These investments reflect trust in Mexico’s workforce and institutions. Our responsibility is to ensure that this trust translates into sustainable growth and opportunities for all,” she said during a press briefing.
The projects span industries including manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and technology, with particular emphasis on renewable energy and advanced manufacturing. Analysts note that Mexico’s proximity to the United States, coupled with trade agreements such as the USMCA, has made it an attractive destination for companies seeking to strengthen supply chains.
Job creation is expected to be widespread, with opportunities ranging from skilled labor in automotive and aerospace sectors to service roles in tourism and hospitality. Officials underscored that the government’s focus will be on ensuring fair wages and long-term employment stability.
Business leaders welcomed the announcement, noting that Mexico’s commitment to legal and regulatory certainty is crucial for sustaining investor confidence. “This level of investment is unprecedented and positions Mexico as a hub for innovation and production,” said one industry representative.
With billions in new capital and millions of jobs on the horizon, Mexico is poised to enter a new era of economic expansion—one that Sheinbaum insists will be marked by both growth and social responsibility.
