Serfimex Capital—a Multiple-Purpose Financial Society (SOFOM)—announced plans to issue bridge loans totaling 2.5 billion pesos over the next two years in Quintana Roo, coinciding with the launch of the state’s new financial and technology district.
In a press release, the financial institution stated that the new financial district’s master plan envisions the construction of corporate offices, specialized hospitals, technology centers, convention hotels, and business acceleration spaces.
These facilities, the institution noted, will be supported by tax incentives—including benefits regarding Corporate Income Tax (ISR), property tax, and real estate acquisition tax (ISABI)—as well as a 100 percent subsidy on Payroll Tax during the first five years of operation, followed by a 50 percent subsidy for the subsequent five years.
It is worth recalling that last March, during the 89th Banking Convention, Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama announced the upcoming launch of the financial and technology district.
The state governor highlighted that the project would leverage the region’s global connectivity and economic stability to unlock new business opportunities, potentially attracting up to 1.3 billion dollars in investment.
Serfimex noted that one of the primary challenges will be competing with other states to attract investment; however, the firm believes that Quintana Roo retains key advantages, such as international air connectivity.
These advantages also include established tourism infrastructure, proximity to strategic markets, and a globally recognized brand—assets that can significantly boost the development of the financial and technology complex.
“Today, Quintana Roo has the opportunity to evolve toward a more diversified and resilient economy. The Cancún Financial District has the potential to serve as a catalyst for attracting institutional, corporate, and technology-sector investment,” stated José Luis González, Director of Bridge Lending at Serfimex Capital.
“Although Cancún is not a traditional financial hub like Mexico City or Monterrey, it does concentrate enormous flows of tourism and real estate capital, making it a highly strategic market for financial and wealth development,” he added.
