“For the year 2026, the investment in infrastructure in the Federation Expenditure Budget is 2.5% of the GDP. The additional investment (for this Plan and for this year) will be 1.9% of the GDP, which represents an additional 722,000 million pesos,” the official explained.
The Plan will be coordinated by the Strategic Investment Planning Council, which will be headed by the president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who will coordinate all the agencies that have participation in the portfolio.
This Council, “will prioritize the projects, and will provide follow-up and timely attention to each of the projects: how is the physical progress going, how is the financial progress going, where is it stuck, if it lacks resources, if any management is missing,” reported the head of the Treasury.
He explained that unlike Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), mixed investments will be less costly, because the existing legal framework will be harmonized to design more efficient schemes, and new investment models for their financing.
