💡 Q2 Foreign Investment Soars to Historic Levels

Mexico achieved a historic milestone in Q2 2025, drawing in a record US $34.265 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), marking a 10.2% increase compared to Q2 2024. This exceptional performance confirms the country’s sustained upward trend in FDI attractiveness.

📊 Breakdown of Investment Components

According to the Ministry of Economy’s statement, the components of FDI are distributed as follows:

  • Reinvestment of earnings accounted for 84.4% of total FDI (US $28.914 billion), though this figure shows a slight decline from previous quarters.
  • New investments surged to US $3.149 billion, the highest level reported in the past 12 quarters, indicating robust investor confidence.
  • Inter-company accounts—transactions such as debts between affiliated entities—grew from negative figures into US $2.202 billion, reflecting a restoration of inter-company financial activity.

🌎 Leading Sources and Geographic Distribution

Investment origins and destinations reveal clear concentration patterns:

  • United States remained the dominant investor, contributing 42.9% of total FDI.
  • Spain and Canada followed as the second and third largest sources.
  • The top five investor countries together accounted for 73.3% of all FDI into Mexico.
  • Geographically, 79.2% of Q2 FDI was absorbed by just five federal entities, with Mexico City alone receiving 56.4% of the total.

💡 What This Means for Mexico’s Economy

  • Confidence in reinvestment: High levels of earnings reinvested signal strong long-term faith in Mexico’s economic prospects.
  • Improved investment dynamics: The jump in new investments and revival of inter-company flows suggests renewed strategic entries from foreign entities.
  • Regional concentration: Heavy investment in Mexico City and a handful of states highlights the need to evaluate and potentially diversify regional economic development policies.
