Mexico City, October 8, 2025 — President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo presented Plan Mexico and its goals to business leaders from 17 member countries of the World Economic Forum. The goals are strengthening the domestic market and boosting wages, as well as public and private investment; increasing food and energy sovereignty and national production; and reducing imports from countries with which Mexico does not have a trade agreement. She also conveyed the Mexican Government’s optimism regarding relations with its North American trade partners, the United States and Canada.

She explained that Plan Mexico includes actions such as strengthening national connectivity through expanded rail, highway, airport, and port infrastructure; generating 26,000 megawatts through the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) complemented by private energy investment, along with 158 transmission projects; establishing a production goal for Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) of 1.8 million barrels of fuel per day and expanding natural gas development; investing in water projects such as the modernization of agricultural irrigation systems; building 1.7 million homes over the next six years; creating 200,000 new spaces for students in upper-secondary education and 330,000 in higher education; and reducing at least 50 percent of bureaucratic paperwork procedures through simplification and digitalization.

Sheinbaum highlighted the creation of 26 Economic Development Poles for Wellbeing (PODECOBI) — 15 spread across the country and 11 more in south-southeastern Mexico. The PODECOBI seek to offer economic incentives to foster investment and promote national development.

Finally, she announced that in the next few weeks the “Mexico, Country of Innovation” project will be presented, based on four pillars: 1. Greater scientific, technical, and humanistic education from childhood through higher education; 2) The National Innovation Promoter, together with the Development Bank, to finance small and medium-sized enterprises that will allow for greater innovation; 3) Engineering Services, and 4) The National Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, to create the conditions for the use of this tool by both government and the private sector.
