The Centro de Estudios Económicos del Sector Privado (Ceesp) has projected that with President Claudia Sheinbaum's proposed Infrastructure Investment Plan, Mexico's economy could grow by more than 3%. This plan entails an additional allocation of 722 billion pesos on top of the already budgeted 960 billion pesos for physical investments by 2026, accounting for about 2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). The Ceesp states this increase will vastly enhance public investment, raising it to 4.4% of GDP, which is expected to catalyze private investment and overall economic growth.

The report highlights the importance of sustaining this strategy, aiming for a total public and mixed investment of 5.6 trillion pesos from 2026 to 2030 across eight strategic sectors, including energy and transportation. This ambition is to position Mexico more competitively while addressing infrastructure deficits that have long hindered economic development. The emphasis on public and mixed investment underscores a shift towards more collaborative approaches, leveraging private sector resources alongside government funding.

Implementing this aggressive investment plan is seen as critical, as it could provide significant momentum for Mexico’s growth trajectory during the coming years. The Ceesp advocates for the careful execution of the plan to ensure that the expected economic stimulation translates into meaningful advancements in infrastructure, job creation, and ultimately, the standard of living for many Mexicans.
