Baja California Sur, Nuevo León, and Querétaro emerged as the top destinations for new foreign investment in Mexico during the first half of 2026, despite a slowdown in overall foreign investment. According to data from the Economy Ministry, Mexico received US $2.7 billion in new investments from January to June, down 13.4% from the same period in 2025.
However, total FDI grew as established ventures reinvested profits. Baja California Sur led the country in new foreign direct investment, driven by tourism and lodging services, receiving US $524 million. Nuevo León and Querétaro followed with US $473 million and US $410 million, respectively. Together, these three states accounted for nearly half of the funds allocated to new projects.
