The current economic context and nearshoring have favored foreign investment (FDI) in Mexico, especially in manufacturing, assembly, and distribution processes. These facts have favored the growth of the Manufacturing, Maquiladora, and Export Services Industry (IMMEX) programs; in fact, imports from these companies represent 43% of total imports, which demonstrates the confidence of foreign companies in the Mexican market.
In the first four months of 2023, the IMMEX program has a total of 12,750 production plants throughout the country, which translates into jobs and economic growth in the regions where they are located.
