Chihuahua economic development push

Entities: Municipal Government of Chihuahua · CANACINTRA Chihuahua · Marco Bonilla · Sergio Gramer Quiñónez · José Jordán Orozco

Overview

In July 2026, reports noted that the Mexican state of Chihuahua (along with Colombia’s Huila) recorded modest GDP growth for 2024, indicating a steady but limited economic expansion. By early August 2026, the municipal government of Chihuahua city released the "Guía de la Industria de Chihuahua Capital 2026," a digital industrial guide compiled with industry partners. The guide aggregates data on local firms, sectors, and capacities to attract investors, highlighting that foreign direct investment reached roughly $1.5 billion in 2024. Officials presented the tool as a means to shorten decision cycles, boost employment, support SMEs, and reinforce Chihuahua’s role as a leading industrial hub in Mexico.
