Jalisco continues to solidify its position as one of the leading investment destinations in Mexico, ranking among the top 5 states nationally in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the first quarter of 2026.
According to figures presented by the Federal Ministry of Economy, the country registered $23.591 billion in FDI during the January-March period; Jalisco stands out as one of the main drivers of investment in Mexico, ranking as the fifth state that attracted the most foreign investment.
“Jalisco has entered the top 5 for attracting the most foreign direct investment in the country, and this is due to the conditions we have created as a state to make it more attractive for investment, as well as the work done by the Ministry of Economic Development (SEDECO) to actively seek out and attract new investments,” highlighted the Secretary of Economic Development of Jalisco.
In the first three months of this year, investments in sectors such as the automotive industry, electronic components, commercial banking, and vegetable oils and greases, among others, stand out.
Nationally, new investments registered an annual growth of 7.5 percent, while reinvestment of profits increased by 33.5 percent, indicators that reflect the private sector's confidence in continuing to expand operations in the country.
The Government of Jalisco, through the Ministry of Economic Development, continues to promote conditions to attract more investment, strengthen strategic sectors, and generate greater opportunities and quality jobs for the people of Jalisco.
