  • Germany: $83.8 million USD — accounting for 27.7%
  • Italy: $37.8 million USD — roughly 12.5% of overall investment

Additional countries also contributed to the state’s FDI:

  • Canada: $24.5 million USD (8.1%)
  • Japan: $10 million USD (3.3%)
  • Brazil: $7.6 million USD (2.5%)

📊 Investment Type Breakdown

The composition of FDI showed a focus on internal retention and new growth:

  • 85.1%: Reinvestment of earnings
  • 7.7%: Inter-company transactions
  • 7.2%: New direct investments

This indicates a mature investment flow, supported largely by existing operations reinvesting in the region.

📈 Investment Momentum & Long-Term Outlook

While Q1 figures reflect a strategic reinvestment trend, broader investment announcements for 2025 already total approximately $697 million USD. This underscores investor confidence in Querétaro’s economic fundamentals and its growing role as a magnet for high-value manufacturing.

Since 2006, Querétaro has accumulated $18.66 billion USD in FDI, with the U.S. contributing $4.915 billion (26.3%), followed by Canada, Spain, and Germany.
