Foreign Direct Investment in Mexico reaches historic figure in 2025 with $40.871 billion
Mexico achieved a record Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of $40.871 billion in 2025, marking a 10.8% annual increase compared to the previous year.
In 2025, Mexico reached a record high of $40.871 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), according to the Ministry of Economy, which also noted a significant annual growth of 10.8% over the previous year. This impressive figure underscores Mexico's positioning as a strategic destination for global productive capital, contrasting with a 2% decline in FDI flows towards developing economies during the same period, highlighting Mexico's resilience and attractiveness in the global market.
The growth in FDI for 2025 was primarily driven by new investments amounting to $7.378 billion, which marked an extraordinary increase of 133% compared to 2024. The Ministry emphasized that this surge in new capital demonstrates Mexico's capability to attract investments that support cutting-edge technology adoption and enhance productivity. This remarkable uptick reflects an investor confidence in Mexico's economic environment and its potential for future growth.
As global trends indicate a contraction in foreign investments in many developing countries, Mexico's historical FDI figure may lead to broader economic implications, potentially influencing other sectors and showcasing the country's growing role in the international investment landscape. The increase in FDI not only supports economic growth but also creates an opportunity for technological advancement and job creation within the nation, further solidifying Mexico's economic foundations in a competitive global economy.
