Mexico recorded a historic high in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the second quarter of 2025, attracting $34.265 billion, according to President Claudia Sheinbaum and the Secretariat of Economy. This figure represents a 10.2% increase compared to the same period in 2024 and nearly doubles the amount registered in 2017. Despite the imposition of tariffs by the United States, Mexico's economy demonstrated resilience, with Sheinbaum emphasizing that "not even the tariffs could weaken the Mexican economy." The growth in FDI marks the fifth consecutive year of record-breaking inflows, with 84.4% of the total comprising reinvested earnings and 9.2% new investments. The president credited the current administration's economic model for both reducing poverty and fostering investment, highlighting the country's stable economic performance amid external challenges such as U.S. migrant policies. The private sector, including the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), recognized the record FDI as evidence that Mexico is progressing on the right economic path.
