Mexico investment and energy infrastructure trends

Overview

Mexico continues to be positioned as a primary destination for investment in Latin America. Following briefings with President Claudia Sheinbaum, Goldman Sachs President and COO John Waldron noted that Mexico’s strategy to attract foreign capital through scalable infrastructure projects and public-private partnerships presents significant opportunities for global banks. To drive growth, the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial (CCE) has proposed raising investment to 25% of GDP, with long-term targets of 28% and 30%.

During the CCE’s 50th anniversary, President José Medina Mora Icaza emphasized that attracting investment requires “certainty, security, energy, and water,” warning that without sufficient investment, growth will fail to meet national demands. In response, President Sheinbaum announced a planned public and mixed investment of 8.4 trillion pesos over the next four years targeting strategic infrastructure in energy, transport, water, ports, and housing. A specific 1.2 trillion peso program aims to modernize electrical infrastructure and natural gas transport by 2030, with the goal of increasing renewable energy generation from 24 percent to 38 percent.

Despite a historic $34.968 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the first half of 2026, experts warn of structural obstacles. Challenges include high labor informality, insecurity, and the need for legal certainty. Coparmex reported that 50% of surveyed companies have been victims of crime, redirecting expansion funds toward security. Additionally, the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF) noted that manufacturing and investment have faced stagnation. To sustain momentum, business leaders urge a focus on converting capital inflows into productive projects through regulatory stability and improved public spending efficiency.
