Mexico’s Lower House Backs Infrastructure Law to Unlock 5.6–6 Trillion Pesos

The push aims to tap idle capital to speed projects under new budget protections.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies approved the Strategic Infrastructure Investment Law and sent it to the Senate for review.
  • The measure creates a Planning Council led by the president to select priority projects and track progress.
  • The government forecasts about 5.6 to 6 trillion pesos in projects through 2030, with priority works protected from later budget cuts.
  • The law seeks to move dormant money in trusts, bank savings, and funds into projects using mixed public‑private deals, toll road monetization, and port and airport concessions.
  • Industry leaders back the goal but seek clear rules on returns, debt risks, transparency tools, and on the rule that foreign bidders must be domiciled in Mexico.
