Mexico City Forges Alliance with AMEXCAP to Attract Private Investment and Drive Economic Growth
Mexico City, April 21, 2026 – The government of Mexico City has cemented its strategy to attract private capital by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Mexican Association of Private Capital (AMEXCAP). This pivotal agreement aims to catalyze strategic projects, foster collaboration with the business sector, and solidify the capital’s position as the nation’s primary investment hub.
The MoU was formally signed on April 20, 2026, by Juan Pablo de Botton Falcón, Head of the Secretariat of Administration and Finance (SAF), and Pablo Coballasi Durand, President of AMEXCAP. This initiative underscores the commitment of the Mexico City government, led by Mayor Clara Brugada Molina, to promote investment and economic development within the metropolis.
Key Objectives of the Collaboration
The memorandum establishes a framework for collaboration focused on facilitating investment in priority projects. The core objectives include:
- Exchange of technical knowledge: Fostering the sharing of expertise and best practices to stimulate economic growth.
- Job creation: Generating new employment opportunities across various sectors.
- Social well-being: Enhancing the quality of life for the city’s residents through sustainable development.
The document also acknowledges the crucial role played by Mexico’s private capital industry. As of March 2026, AMEXCAP members have channeled over 89 billion dollars in investments since its inception in 2003, establishing the association as a key player in financing productive projects nationwide.
Mexico City: A National Investment Powerhouse
Mexico City continues to be the leading hub for public investment in the country. For 2026, the city’s budget allocates 57.911 billion pesos for public investment, representing a significant 55% increase compared to 2024. A substantial portion of these resources is channeled through the Infrastructure, Mobility, Water, and Security Trust, designed to strengthen strategic areas such as:
- Urban infrastructure
- Mobility solutions
- Water management
- Public safety
Furthermore, Mexico City accounts for the largest share of physical investment in the country, totaling 30.5843 billion pesos, which is equivalent to 21% of the national total. This robust financial commitment further reinforces its role as a key economic engine for Mexico.
The SAF emphasized that this agreement is an integral part of a comprehensive policy aimed at maintaining healthy and sustainable public finances. It also seeks to consolidate cooperation with the private sector on projects that provide lasting benefits for the population.
The partnership with AMEXCAP is expected to unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and job creation, benefiting both the city’s economy and its residents. By fostering a more dynamic investment environment, Mexico City aims to continue its trajectory as a leading economic and social development model in Latin America.
