Sheinbaum announces 8.4 trillion pesos for four-year infrastructure plan
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an 8.4 trillion-peso infrastructure plan at an event marking the 50th anniversary of the country’s Business Coordinating Council.
The plan covers the next four years and combines public funding with investment involving private businesses.
It includes projects in roads, passenger trains, energy, oil, water, ports and housing.
Housing and Pemex account for the largest listed allocations, at about 3 trillion pesos and 2 trillion pesos respectively.
The government says the plan is intended to support economic growth and make it easier for private companies to invest.
The announced total covers major planned projects, not all private investment the government hopes to attract through incentives and faster permits.
Sheinbaum said a single investment office aims to approve projects within 60 days and has already approved more than 20 significant projects.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced 8.4 trillion pesos in public and mixed investment for infrastructure over the next four years.
She presented the plan at an event marking the 50th anniversary of Mexico’s Business Coordinating Council on October 13, 2026.
Projects include roads, passenger trains, energy, Pemex, ports, water and housing.
She said the investment was intended to respond to a complex international economic environment and stimulate growth.
