Since the beginning of the conflict between the Trump Administration and Mexico, there was speculation that the Mexican peso would fall and that foreign investment would decline.
Months later, the peso has strengthened—especially since the start of the migration-related conflict. Trump has pushed bilateral policy to focus on migration and tariffs. The U.S. president assumed that Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, would easily comply with any directive imposed by the United States. That has not been the case.
Sheinbaum has made it clear that Mexico makes its own decisions independently and has emphasized the mutual need for a good relationship.
These other issues have not stopped foreign investors from continuing to come to Mexico, nor have they prevented the peso from continuing to gain strength.
President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted the peso’s strength: “Today the peso is below 19… 18.98,” she stated to the media. She affirmed that this behavior reflects macroeconomic stability and confidence.
Her statement came at an event focused on the arrival of new private investments. According to the president, the exchange rate against the dollar symbolized the results of responsible policies. She added that Mexico’s economic environment is attracting foreign capital.
Heineken in Mexico will invest more than 2.7 billion dollars in the country’s southeast through 2028, in projects such as building a new brewery, announced the company’s general director, Oriol Bonaclocha.
“We are here to reaffirm our commitment to Mexico. With great pride, we share our intention to invest 2.75 billion dollars in the country from now through the end of 2028, with a vision focused on growth, innovation, and sustainability,” said Oriol Bonaclocha.
