International investor confidence in Michoacán has been strengthened after attracting $1.964 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) registered or under development between the third quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2026. This figure positions the state as an attractive destination for promoting productive projects, reported the Ministry of Economic Development (Sedeco).
The diverse origins of these investments reflect Michoacán’s capacity to compete in international markets and solidify its position as an ideal option for companies from the Americas, Europe, and Asia interested in developing and expanding their operations. Among the countries of origin of the capital are the United States, Spain, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, Chile, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Denmark, among others.
The arrival of foreign capital strengthens key sectors of the state’s economy, such as manufacturing, logistics, commerce, and services, which in turn stimulates the establishment of new businesses and the expansion of existing ones. This dynamism drives the creation of formal jobs, multiplying opportunities for well-being for the people of Michoacán.
The head of the Ministry of Economic Development (Sedeco), Claudio Méndez Fernández, emphasized that the confidence of national and international investors is a result of the ongoing work to strengthen Michoacán’s competitiveness, creating a favorable environment for new investments.
“Every investment that comes to the state represents new development opportunities, boosts the creation of formal jobs, and strengthens the well-being of families. We will continue working to ensure that more companies find the conditions in Michoacán to grow, invest, and contribute to the state’s economic development,” the state official stressed.
