Mexico to Break FDI Record in 2025 With Nearly US $41 Billion in New Investments

Mexico is on track to reach a new historic high in foreign direct investment (FDI) by the end of the year, according to preliminary data from the National Registry of Foreign Investment, reported by Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Economy. During a press briefing at the National Palace, the official announced that the country will reach nearly US $41 billion in FDI, representing a 15% increase compared to 2024.

Record FDI Driven by New Investments

Ebrard highlighted that this momentum is being driven particularly by fresh capital inflows. “What is growing the most in this figure is new investment. It rises from US $2 billion to US $6.5 billion. These are not reinvestments—they are new investments,” he noted.

The secretary added that this performance reflects investors’ confidence in Mexico’s economic outlook.“It means that investors from all over the world are deciding to invest in Mexico at a higher level than we had anticipated.”

Between 2018 and 2025, total accumulated FDI has grown by nearly 70%, a trend that has accelerated in recent quarters. “This consolidates a positive trend. As you may remember, the previous quarter also recorded very strong numbers—and it continues to grow,” he stated.

Mexican Exports Maintain Steady Growth

Ebrard also reported steady growth in Mexican exports despite tariff adjustments and complex external conditions. “Many believed that the new circumstances and new tariffs would create difficulties. But exports continue growing,” he said. Official figures show consistent year-over-year increases.
