Mexico plans to invest US$454 billion in infrastructure over the next four years, combining public spending, private capital and development banking to expand transportation, energy and water networks while facing pressure to contain the fiscal deficit.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the plan at the 50th anniversary of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE). The strategy seeks to strengthen economic growth and improve logistics as global trade tensions and an economic slowdown challenge Mexico’s economy.
Financing and fiscal discipline were central to the discussion. CCE President José Medina Mora urged the government to reduce the deficit, protect Mexico’s investment-grade credit rating and strengthen the rule of law. He warned that a credit downgrade could raise borrowing costs for the government and private companies.
Sheinbaum acknowledged the fiscal constraints and reaffirmed her commitment to responsible deficit reduction. "We want to do it responsibly, not promise what we cannot do, but we are doing it responsibly", she said.
The MX$8.4 trillion infrastructure plan spans major productive sectors, with public and private financing supported by development banks intended to help fund projects beyond what the federal budget alone can support.
The portfolio includes:
Strategic water projects are also part of the plan.
The investments aim to address infrastructure bottlenecks and expand productive capacity. Road and port improvements could ease the movement of goods, while energy and water projects are relevant to manufacturers and other businesses considering expansion.
Sheinbaum said private financing could support transportation development while the resulting highway infrastructure remains public.
The National Highway Infrastructure Program targets 11,366 kilometers of roads, bridges and bypasses during the current six-year presidential term. Its goals include linking production centers with ports and border crossings, improving regional mobility and creating jobs.
Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation Minister Jesús Esteva reported that 1,796 kilometers had been completed, or 15% of the target, with another 4,223 kilometers under construction.
The program draws on federal funding and private-sector participation. Priority roads account for MX$154.6 billion and cover 3,161 kilometers. Of those, 407 kilometers are complete and 1,113 kilometers are under construction, with most remaining work scheduled for 2027 through 2029.
Another MX$100.6 billion is allocated to highway construction and modernization covering 802 kilometers. Four sections totaling 32 kilometers are complete, work continues on 575 kilometers, and 195 kilometers await construction.
Bridge and overpass projects have an allocation of MX$25.1 billion across 24 structures totaling 47.6 kilometers. Ten projects covering 24.7 kilometers have been completed, while another 14.8 kilometers are under construction.
Separately, the administration has earmarked MX$50 billion this year for the MegaBachetón program to rehabilitate surfaces across the federal highway network.
Sheinbaum also outlined plans for a digital economy strategy involving the Bank of Mexico, commercial banks and retail chains. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on cash and connect micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with the credit system.
The government plans to create a catalog to standardize and simplify administrative procedures at the municipal and state levels. Businesses with outstanding tax liabilities would also be able to settle them in 2027 without penalties or surcharges under a continuation of the government’s tax regularization program.
Medina Mora called for financing and training to help smaller businesses join major corporations’ supply chains. He also urged deeper domestic supply chains ahead of the review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA.
The infrastructure program’s execution will depend on the government’s ability to bring public resources and private investment together while managing fiscal constraints. Those financing arrangements will help determine how quickly projects advance and deliver the intended improvements in connectivity, energy supply, water access and industrial competitiveness.
