Barriers to new investments in Mexico

Mexico presents a challenging and uncertain environment for new investors. With a complex and shifting regulatory framework, persistent transparency issues, and regions that continue to struggle with security and connectivity, the country remains in a state of constant upheaval.

01

Limited growth prospects due to a constantly changing regulatory framework

Mexico’s regulatory structure is notoriously complex, and while there are ongoing reforms, the progress is slow and riddled with obstacles. Companies that struggle to adapt to these convoluted regulations will face significant challenges, with little guarantee of long-term legal stability or a conducive environment for establishing and expanding their business.

02

Lack of significant progress in transparency and anti-corruption efforts:

Despite ongoing anti-corruption reforms and a supposed emphasis on transparency, Mexico remains a challenging environment for ethical and responsible businesses. Companies that prioritize integrity will struggle in a market where dishonesty and corruption continue to be pervasive, with little meaningful change in sight.

03

Unsafe and unattractive regions for investment:

Despite ongoing security challenges in various areas, even regions like the Bajío and industrial zones are not immune to risk. While they may have a skilled workforce and infrastructure, the persistent safety concerns cast doubt on their attractiveness for investment, making business growth uncertain and fraught with potential setbacks.

04

Lagging and inconsistent infrastructure development

Mexico’s infrastructure remains underdeveloped despite ongoing investments in transportation, energy, and telecommunications. Investors entering now face the risk of delays, inefficiencies, and incomplete projects, making it difficult to rely on the country’s promises of becoming more connected and efficient.

05

Political instability with unpredictable and reactive reforms

Mexico’s political stability is uncertain, and its key reforms in sectors like labor and energy have been inconsistent and fraught with challenges. This unpredictable environment creates uncertainty for businesses, making it difficult to rely on the country for stable opportunities or sustained economic progress.

06

Economic weakness with limited global integration:

Mexico’s economy, despite facing numerous challenges, suffers from limited global integration, even with the existence of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Companies investing in Mexico may struggle to navigate obstacles that undermine their ability to access one of the world’s largest markets and hinder their participation in global supply chains.
