On January 13, 2025, before the public and private sectors of Mexico, the President of the Republic, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, announced the plan named “Plan Mexico”.
Its objective is to strengthen the Mexican economy in the face of the challenges posed by both the inauguration of the new United States government and the complex international economic context, by promoting investment and confidence in Mexico by national and foreign businessmen.
This Plan is transversal in nature, since it implies the participation of all agencies and entities of the Federal Public Administration and various sectors of society.
Among the most important goals, it seeks to create 1.5 million additional jobs, increase public purchases of national production by 50%, and encourage national supply and consumption in the textile, footwear, furniture and toys sectors to reach the same percentage.
It also seeks to reduce the time and amount of procedures to invest in Mexico, and make the country one of the five most visited worldwide, among others.
As announced, the scheduled actions will be as follows:
a) January 15: Installation of a monitoring table on the progress of the private investment portfolio and 100 industrial parks.
b) January 6-15: meetings to decide on strategic projects for technological and scientific development.
c) January 17: The Decree on the Relocation of companies in Mexico will be published with more ambitious goals and the initiative for the National Law on Simplification and Digitalization of Procedures will be presented to the Congress of the Union.
d) January 20-24: Working groups begin to develop the country’s supply chain: what to import by sector and what to produce in Mexico, as well as incentives.
e) February 3 to 7: the development banking fund for medium and small businesses will be launched, as well as the rules for own energy consumption with the aim of expanding it to 27 thousand megawatts (MW) in the six-year period, of which 54 percent will be generated by the Federal Electricity Commission and the rest by private companies with clear rules.
f) February 17-21: relaunch of the “Made in Mexico” brand, presentation of mixed investment mechanisms for infrastructure projects, and creation of the Collaboration Network for technical, curricular and continuing education in secondary and higher education.
g) February 24-28: The Decree that includes at least one Wellness Center in strategic sectors per industrial corridor will be published and the IMMEX 4.0 program will be announced.
h) April 18-19: An agreement will be signed between the Bank of Mexico, the Mexican Banking Association and the Federal Government to increase access to financing for SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises ) by 3.5% annually.
The remaining challenges will be to strengthen legal security in the face of the imminent reform of the Judiciary, and the lack of infrastructure in energy and drinking water, which affects many regions of the country and the various industrial sectors.
