Mexico is experiencing significant activity regarding large-scale infrastructure and public works. Regional developments include the Kukulcán road interchange in Cancún, which is approximately 70 percent complete, and extensive roadway and highway investments in Tamaulipas.

However, reports regarding flagship projects from the previous administration indicate a heavy reliance on federal funding. Major entities such as the Tren Maya, Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), and Mexicana de Aviación are reportedly operating at a loss. The Tren Maya, in particular, has seen its construction costs reach three times the original budget, with federal subsidies covering 96 percent of its total operating costs.
