Mexico City, Jalisco, Yucatán, Hidalgo and Chiapas were the states that registered historic figures in attracting foreign capital in the first three quarters of 2022.

Beyond the economic and labor impact that foreign investment brings, these territories have a great opportunity to take advantage of a new trend: nearshoring or geographic relocation of global supply chains.

According to data from the Ministry of Economy, the country's capital not only managed to rank first in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), but also managed to record a record high in the first three quarters of the year.

FDI from Mexico City amounted to 10.296 million dollars between January and September of this year, an amount that had not been observed in the same comparison period. This record is set by the film and video industry with 43.6% of the total captured, which corresponds to Amazon and Netflix's commitment to local productions.

Another factor that stands out in the foreign capital of Mexico City is that of the total, 65.6% refers to new investments, that is, there is greater confidence of the foreign investor in the local economic engine. Meanwhile, the countries with the greatest presence were the United States with 25.1% of the 10.296 million dollars, Spain with 5.8%, France with 4.2% and Canada with 3.9 percent.

Jalisco was another entity that reached a historic FDI in the first three quarters of the year, with 2,396 million dollars. The main characteristic is that 13.7% of the total was focused on the regular air transport branch, an example of the state's commitment to cargo mobilization, as it is the hub of the West.

Yucatan also achieved its historic FDI with 516 million dollars, the trigger for which was the category of pensions and guest houses, and apartments and houses furnished with hotel services, with 8.4% of the total.
