Sheinbaum Pitches 'Plan México' to WEF Delegations at National Palace

Officials highlighted concrete targets across energy, infrastructure, workforce training to channel fresh investment.

Overview

  • Delegations from at least 17 countries met with the president and her economic team as WEF‑linked investors from pharmaceuticals, logistics, agroindustry, tourism and finance reviewed the strategy.
  • The energy pillar sets up 158 CFE transmission projects with private participation and a Pemex output goal of 1.8 million barrels per day, plus a push for more natural gas.
  • Planned works include new rail, roads, ports and airports, water projects such as farm‑irrigation upgrades, and construction of 1.7 million homes over six years, alongside a target to cut at least half of permitting through simplification and digitization.
  • The strategy seeks to expand credit access to 30% of SMEs and to channel roughly 150,000 engineers and technical graduates each year into priority sectors.
  • Officials cited an identified project portfolio of $258 million, while one outlet reported $298 billion in projects in process, underscoring questions about scale even as interest grows.
