Despite the uncertainty generated by the T-MEC and tariff threats, Mexico is focusing on strengthening the development of domestic products. In this regard, the Bajío corridor has positioned itself in fourth place in attracting investments, according to César Gutiérrez, head of the Economic Well-Being Corridor Coordination in the state.
Querétaro stands out as a spearhead in this strategy and has become one of the main attractions for businesses thanks to its geographical location and the expectations generated by the Mexico-Querétaro train. At the beginning of the Corridor, an investment of 185 billion dollars was estimated for the six-year term, but the figure has increased to 300 billion dollars, coming from new companies and those already established wishing to expand their presence.
Amid the current economic situation, a positive outlook for the country is emerging, despite the circumstances with the United States. Gutiérrez emphasized that new investments will focus on four development hubs, two in San Juan del Río, one in Pedro Escobedo, and another in the capital of Querétaro.
Previously, companies had to complete 150 procedures, but currently, thanks to digitization, this number has been reduced to 46. The Ministry of Economy continues to work on promoting the country's development. The importance of launching the “Made in Mexico” brand was highlighted, with a federally scheduled event on June 25 and a forum in the state the following day, alongside operations against illegal sales and undeclared products.
In the push for a circular economy and the internal development of Mexican products, there is an emphasis on the aggressive relaunch of the “Made in Mexico” brand. The plan includes the substitution of imports by linking local suppliers with large entrepreneurs, thereby fostering local production.
