The Mexican Federal Government has announced a projected allocation of 722 billion pesos for mixed investment in the year 2026, with a significant focus on strategic sectors such as energy, trains, and highways. According to the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO), the energy sector is set to receive more than half of this investment, accounting for 54.15 percent, followed by trains at 15.63 percent and highways at 13.94 percent. The IMCO highlights that while these figures represent substantial funding, the real challenge will be executing these projects effectively and attracting private investment.

Notably, other sectors such as ports, health, water, education, and airports are receiving comparatively lesser allocations, with ports at 6.48 percent, health at 6.23 percent, water at 2.83 percent, education at 0.34 percent, and airports at a minimal 0.04 percent. This situation indicates a clear prioritization of infrastructure and utility projects in the government’s investment strategy, likely reflecting the administration's commitment to bolstering economic growth through improved public infrastructure and services.

In tandem with these investment plans, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has established the Strategic Investment Planning Council (CPEI), chaired by its General Director, Emilia Calleja Alor. The council’s purpose is to organize, prioritize, and monitor these strategic projects, ensuring accountability and proper management of resources. This move suggests a structured approach to managing the anticipated investments, aiming to enhance infrastructure across the key sectors identified, while also signaling to potential investors about the government’s commitment to transparent and effective project execution.
