Sergio Contreras Pérez, president of Comce, said that this is thanks to the thriving business network that is yielding results in Mexico; proof of this is that in this six-year period, despite the little support from the federal and local governments, there has been a dynamic evolution in exports and the capture of FDI.
Regarding an estimate published in the American media The Wall Street Journal that businessmen from that country are halting investments worth 35 billion dollars, citing advisors, the president of the Comce ruled out this being the case.
“I don’t know where they get these figures from, they are personal statements that don’t reflect what could be, (…) the country’s dynamics continue to move forward,” Contreras Peréz said at a press conference.
He added that when we talk about an impact on the nearshoring Because of the judicial reform, the truth is that investors are looking more at the opportunities they can have in the external market and not so much in the internal one.
But he does agree that judicial reform should be carried out in a more appropriate manner, with greater analysis to have a judicial system that provides certainty for investments.
For this year, Comce expects FDI in Mexico to reach $40 billion, 11% more than in 2023.
“We are a great country and we have grown without having any direct responsibility from the governments. The way we have evolved is such that we will continue in this way,” said the president of the business organization.
