Sheinbaum Unveils Plan to Attract Investment as Economy Sags
The new phase adds tax deductions, guarantee facilities and a single permitting window to turn 2,539 projects into construction, officials said.
- On Monday, President Claudia Sheinbaum and Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard launched Plan México Acciones at the National Palace to unblock a $407 billion portfolio of 2,539 infrastructure projects by removing permitting bottlenecks.
- Congressional legislation approved last month empowers Sheinbaum's government to shift from announcing broad promises to identifying and resolving specific regulatory hurdles that have stalled investment authorizations for years.
- Strategic investments worth at least $114 million receive automatic approval, while other projects face a 90-day deadline; tax deductions of 41 to 91 percent apply to new fixed-asset investments during 2025 and 2026.
- Finance Minister Edgar Amador announced a decree to streamline tax procedures, reducing audits to one per year per taxpayer and eliminating double taxation to improve business confidence.
- Investors will monitor three near-term checkpoints—a banking-sector event, voluntary agreements exceeding $200 billion, and state-level data—to assess whether Mexico can lift its investment-to-GDP ratio from roughly 21 to 26 percent.
