Mexico infrastructure investment plan
The Mexican government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, launched a MX$5.6 trillion (US$330 billion) 2026-2030 Infrastructure Investment Plan on February 4, 2026, with an additional MX$722 billion allocated for 2026, aiming to modernize energy, transport, health, and education systems across eight strategic sectors. As of February 26, 2026, the Bank of Mexico increased its 2026 economic growth forecast to 1.6%, citing strong Q4 2025 performance and robust external demand, supported by nearshoring and a resilient labor market. This plan is bolstered by a new regulatory framework formalized on February 2, 2026, allowing state-owned utility CFE to engage in mixed contracts with private companies for electricity generation and infrastructure projects, encouraging private capital for renewable energy and grid enhancement. The Guaymas port expansion, part of a federal modernization agenda, is set to begin in 2026 with an investment of MX$130 billion to decongest Pacific trade. Mexico's economy narrowly avoided recession in 2025, driven by a surge in exports and private sector residential construction.
