Mexico Sets Q3 Record With Nearly $41 Billion in Foreign Investment

Officials frame a surge in fresh capital alongside Mexico's unanimous APEC 2028 host role as a signal of investor confidence.

Overview

  • The Economy Ministry reported about $41 billion in FDI for the third quarter, up 15% from 2024, marking the highest level for a comparable period.
  • New investments—not reinvestments—jumped sharply, with officials citing roughly $6.5 billion while at least one outlet reported $4.503 billion.
  • Manufacturing accounted for 37% of inflows, followed by financial services at 25% and construction at 5%, based on preliminary figures.
  • Officials said exports rose 48% between 2020 and 2024 to $617 billion, and they described Mexico as the United States' top trading partner.
  • Ebrard said cumulative FDI has grown about 69% since 2018, linking recent inflows to nearshoring and steady export momentum, while confirming Mexico will host APEC leaders in 2028.
