Mexico set a new record in 2024 by attracting $36.87 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), marking a 2.3% increase from preliminary 2023 figures, according to Banco de México. This growth underscores the country’s resilience and attractiveness as a global investment hub, even amid shifting trade dynamics and policy changes, including new tariff measures introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump. As international investors continue to expand their presence, Mexico remains a key player in industrial growth and economic development, reinforcing its strategic role in global supply chains.
Strong Investment Growth Reflects Mexico’s Economic Strength
Foreign investment in Mexico continues to show resilience, with FDI inflows increasing by 1.1% compared to the final adjusted figures for 2023. The country’s ability to attract record-breaking investment underscores its economic stability, strategic geographic location, and well-established trade agreements, including the USMCA.
One of the key drivers of this growth has been the reinvestment of earnings by companies already operating in Mexico. These reinvestments grew by 7.8% in 2024, reaching $28.71 billion, indicating strong confidence in the local business environment. This trend suggests that multinational corporations are not only maintaining their presence in Mexico but also expanding their operations to capitalize on the country’s industrial and trade advantages.
