\u201cMexico is positioning itself as a strategic destination for global productive capital, in an environment in which FDI flows to developing economies showed a 2% drop in 2025,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The data indicates the United States remained Mexico\u2019s principal investment partner, generating FDI flows of US $15.88 billion, 38.8% of the total.<\/p>\n
Spain ranked second at US $4.4 billion (10.8%) with Canada (US $3.3 billion, 8.1% ), the Netherlands (US $2.4 billion, or 5.8%) and Japan (US $2.3 billion, or 5.6%) filling out the rest of the top 5.<\/p>\n
The SE reported that reinvestment of profits registered the largest share of FDI flows entering Mexico in 2025 \u2014 nearly 68% \u2014 followed by new investments (18%), and intercompany accounts (14.3%).<\/p>\n
New investments grew nearly 133%, to US $7.38 billion in 2025, providing the biggest bounce to the total FDI flow.<\/p>\n
The SE described the performance of new investments last year\u00a0 as \u201centailing a greater capacity for Mexico to attract new capital that can promote the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and productivity growth in the national industry.\u201d<\/p>\n The reinvestment of profits contracted slightly, falling 3.7% from US $28.7 billion to US $27.6 billion, which the SE attributed to a greater distribution of dividends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n As for intercompany accounts, they registered annualized growth of 17%, rising from US $4.99 billion in 2024 to US $5.8 billion in 2025. The SE said this is associated with the dynamics of capital reorganization in corporate groups.<\/p>\n Intercompany accounts are transactions originating from debts between Mexican companies that hold FDI in their share capital and associated companies abroad.<\/p>\n Once again, Mexico City was the top destination for FDI in 2025, receiving US $22.38 billion, roughly 55% of the total. This represented a 55% increase over 2024.<\/p>\n Second place went to Nuevo Le\u00f3n, which received US $3.63 billion, or 8.9% of the total and a nearly 73% increase compared to last year.<\/p>\n M\u00e9xico state ranked third, receiving US $3.28 billion, or 8%, a 24% year-on-year improvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n With reports from El Economista<\/a>, El Financiero<\/a>, La Jornada<\/a> and El Pa\u00eds<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mexico attracted a record US $40.87 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025, a 10.8% year-on-year increase,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72,113,29418,61,60,149646],"class_list":["post-321958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-foreign-direct-investment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mexico-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Banner-728x90px-1.png\"\/)
