Investing in Mexico

Mexico’s economy is currently undergoing significant growth and improvement. In 1982, following it’s inability to support its escalating foreign debt, Mexico made changes in its infrastructure in order to encourage more foreign investment. Most notable of these changes was Mexico’s stance on foreign ownership.

Allowances of foreign ownership of Mexican companies, formerly limited to 49 percent, were raised to 100 percent in many enterprises. This includes development companies, hotel companies, etc. This is important because most companies no longer need prior consent from the Foreign Investment Commission or Mexican investment partners.

Mexican Federal Corporate Income Tax ranges from 25 to 38 percent, and allows provisions to offset the detrimental effects of inflation on monetary assets and liabilities, inventories and depreciable assets.
Mexico’s economy is great for foreign investors. It offers a solid communications infrastructure, ample energy supplies, low labor costs, and skilled trainable labor resources all in close proximity to the world’s largest market.
In addition, the Mexican government has dedicated time and money to developing new tourist destinations with modern facilities and infrastructure in order to promote the tourism industry.
