Baja California Sur led the attraction of new investments with 738.4 million dollars, which are directed to the tourism sector in temporary accommodation services.
In second place is Quintana Roo, which registered 395.7 million dollars, and also stands out for attracting foreign investment in tourism.
And in third place is Chihuahua with a fundraising of 252.2 million dollars, where the flow is directed to the manufacturing of transportation equipment.
According to a methodology developed by the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO), only the transportation manufacturing sector, which enters the manufacturing industry, is associated with the nearshoring.
Those who follow and the unlucky
Jalisco, Nayarit, Yucatán and Nuevo León are located with a lower attraction of new investments; some stand out for being considered more attractive for relocation.
Jalisco managed to raise 184.1 million dollars, Nayarit, 145.2 million, Yucatán 104.4 million and Nuevo León 100.4 million.
There were entities that did not get a piece of the pie of new investments, such as Durango, Morelos, Tlaxcala, San Luis Potosí and Coahuila, which remained at zero.
Cases of negative flows were also recorded, such as that of Mexico City, which registered -45.7 million dollars. This result is striking, since in previous years the country’s capital was the leader in attracting new investments. In 2023 it attracted 1,126 million dollars; In 2022 it added 7,432 million, and in 2020 it received 3,630 million.
Analysts remain cautious about the phenomenon of nearshoring in Mexico and its impact on the states, since until now new capital not only has not grown, it continues to reach minimums.
