INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
Introduction
During the year 2004 the international direct foreign investment market observed a slight recovery after its decline during
the last three years. In spite of such recovery it didn’t reach the levels of 1989. The investment flow increase in 2004 is
estimated to be less than 5%, while the reduction in 2003 was of 20%. Mexico’s economic and trade authorities believe
direct foreign investment in the country for the year 2004 will total between US $13 and $15 billion. This is due to the
international scenario of slow recovery in essentially US and Japanese economies, which are two very important pillars
in the world economy.
Mexico continues to be one of the best alternatives for investment, according to the Confidence Indexes published by T.
Kerarney, a prestigious consultation firm working in the area of foreign investment. In September 2003, this firm identified
Mexico in third place in terms of investors’ level of confidence.
At the end of 2003, Mexico was among the top fifteen economies in the world receiving direct foreign investment. Mexico
received an average of flow of more than US $ 12.5 billion during the past ten years*. It is rated as third among developing
countries in the amount received in foreign investment.
In an international economic environment in which it is expected that foreign investment will increase during the first half
of 2005, Mexico should continue to adapt its energy, fiscal, legal, labor and transparency policies for the purposes of
offering investors the genuine incentives they need, in terms of productivity, markets, opportunities, security, efficiency,
facilities, infrastructure and capacity.
One of the instruments offered by Bancomext, and that has been well received by investors, is to provide information that
gives them elements for supporting their decision to invest in Mexico. We have been developing this summary of
industrial costs for several years now, and its objective is to offer investors and authentic image of what they will find in the
country regarding service rates, land and industrial bay costs.
Like every year, the present publication supports the investment promotion work under guidelines that allow a mayor
capture of the same and which are the following:
•
•
The joint efforts and alliances with the governments of the states, the private companies and the federal executive
entities.
The promotion of the existing production facilities able to develop high technology and increase the value of its
products.

•
•
•
The economic activity of the biggest economy of Latin America.
The possibilities to access markets in the world that represent about 940 million people, through the trade agreements
Mexico signed.
The offer of Industrial Parks with an adequate infrastructure for the installation and development of any kind of
businesses.
Regarding the offer of industrial parks, the publication contains information from 152 parks located in 97 places in 23
federal entities throughout the country. As a total these industrial parks occupy a land area of 24,710 hectares, 46% of
which is offered for sale.
In the last three years special importance was given to the incorporation of industrial parks that can guarantee adequate
services and infrastructure for the installation and operation of the companies.
Until July 2003 only three certified industrial parks existed in the country; at present, 20% of the 118 surveyed parks have
been certified under the Mexican Industrial Park Standard. Likewise, in August 2004 13% of the surveyed parks are on
the way to be certified.
To give an idea of the importance of the Industrial Parks included in this publication, the investors should know that these
contain actually 2,598 companies, 65% of which are local and the rest foreign, employing totally close to half a million
people.
The costs reported in this valuable document are aimed at providing investors with knowledge regarding the infrastructure
in the country, which is divided into five regions for a better handling and understanding. Furthermore, it includes the
profiles of the states, the costs of land and adequate construction for industries with the entire necessary infrastructure,
the prices of basic services, wages of managers, administrative and technical personnel as well as that of skilled and
unskilled labor and other aspects that investors need to know.
Figures and costs reported in this publication must be viewed as points of reference, since they were averaged from
information obtained from various local sources in each region, and some prices are subject to changes at any time.
Bancomext wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation and comments received by all the promoters and
receivers of foreign investment, and from all the entities providing public services. This publication was possible thanks to
the information all of them provided.

National Information
I
1. Evolution of the Economy
Throughout 2004, the evolution of the national economy was influenced by external factors, both by the greater availability
of financial resources, as well as by the vigorous rhythm of oil and non-oil exports. These factors contributed to the
expansion of private consumption and investment spending in the country. Thus, in 2004 consumption spending was
what contributed most to the growth of the real GDP, followed by the gross formation of capital and the net balance of
goods and services. During that year consumption at constant prices increased at a rate higher than that of output,
reaching a level representing 81.6% of the GDP.
Investment, for its part, constituted the most dynamic component of domestic spending, and became increasingly stronger
throughout the year, surpassing its annual growth rate of 5.2% in the first half of the year, to reach 9.7% in the second
half. It is worth mentioning that this expansion in investment during 2004 took place after only a slight improvement
registered in 2003, and after having diminished in 2001 and 2002.1
During the first half of 2005, the performance of the Mexican economy has been favorable. The growth in economic
activity was sustained by the dynamism of services and industrial production. This evolution of the national productive
apparatus translated into a significant expansion in the sources of employment in the formal work market.
The recuperation in formal employment and expansion of credit favored a strengthening of domestic demand. In particular,
the increase in public investment and greater spending in the private sector were the primary factors giving momentum to
the expansion of the Mexican economy.
High growth rates in Mexico’s foreign trade were maintained. In particular, the country’s external accounts demonstrated
an increased trade deficit due to the rise in the importation of capital and consumer goods.
In a context of macroeconomic stability, derived from the responsible management of fiscal and monetary policies, it is
anticipated that the expansion of the economy during the second quarter of 2005 corresponds to a comparative annual
rate of approximately 4.0%.2

2. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
At the end of 2004, the annual 4.4% growth rate in the real GDP was the highest registered in the last four years.3
Estimates made by specialists for 2005 point to a 3.54% growth rate in the real GDP, and growth rates of 3.47% for 2006,
and 3.45% for 2007.4
During the first quarter of 2005, the Mexican economy registered an advance of 2.4%. This figure was affected by the
fewer number of working days in this period, in comparison to the first quarter of 2004. In fact, after correcting for this
effect, a 3.8% annual growth of the GDP is observed. At the sectoral level, the effect from Holy Week had a greater impact
on the industrial sector, since some activities in the services sector are favored during vacation periods.5

During the second quarter of the year, the Mexican economy demonstrated a more significant deceleration than anticipated,
and consequently there was only a moderate advance in the GDP (2.8%) in the first half of the year, in relation to the
second half of 2004. If seasonal factors are eliminated, there was no advance during the first half of the year, and even a
slight decrease can be observed. For the second half of the year, it is expected that the economy will move out of its
current lethargy. Although high growth is anticipated for each quarter of the second half of the year, the rates of annual
variation will not be much above those for the first half of the year.6
3. Foreign Trade
During 2004 the evolution of the Mexican economy’s external sector was characterized by the following aspects:
•
•
•
•
The significant strength of the external demand, particularly from the United Status.
The significant increase registered in the international oil price.
The loss of participation by Mexican products in the US market.
A rise in the importing of commodities, responding to the expansion registered during the year in production and
domestic spending in the Mexican economy.

•
•
Increased resources introduced into the economy, through family remittances.
A foreign debt policy followed by the federal government and aimed at decreasing the balance due and improving cost
and maturity conditions.
All of the above translated into moderate deficits in the trade balance and in the current accounts balance. As in the two
prior years, the latter was financed primarily with long-term resources.7

During the first half of 2005, there was a deficit in Mexico’s trade balance of over 2.6 billion USD, which was 60.9%
greater than that observed in the same period of 2004. The trade deficit without oil exports considered increased by an
annual rate of 36.0%, rising to almost 16.8 billion USD.
Between January and June of 2005, exports of commodities rose to over 100.5 billion USD, signifying an annual increase
of 11%. Foreign sales of oil products increased during that period by 32.2%, while non-oil exports rose by 8.2%. In
particular, manufacturing exports registered an annual increase of 7.9%, reaching over 82.3 billion USD. Within those
manufacturing exports, the increase in maquila exports was 9.3% and in all others, 6.2%. As well, foreign sales of
extractive products and agricultural goods increased by 37.9% and 11.4%, respectively.
Total imports for the first half of 2005 reached a level of over 103.2 billion USD, a figure representing an annual increase
of 11.9%. The dynamism of industrial activity provided momentum to the importing of intermediate goods and capital,
which expanded at annual rates of 9.3% and 16.9%, respectively. It is important to mention that the increase in the
importing of capital is the greatest since the second half of 2000. Also, due to an acceleration in the national demand, the
foreign purchase of consumer goods increased at an annual rhythm of 24.2%.8

4. Inflation
By December 31, 2004, the overall inflation rate for the year had reached 5.19%, while this indicator was only 3.98% at
the end of the previous year. This increase was basically a consequence of perturbations originating beyond the country’s
borders, especially the elevation in international prices for various raw materials. At the same time, the origin of this rising
trend was, to a significant degree, the greater participation in growth around the world by economies that are distinguished
by their intensive use of energy and metals, and that increased their food imports, as in the case of China. Also, the path
of inflation in 2004 was influenced by a revision of public transportation prices at the beginning of the year in some cities
with an elevated weight in the NCPI, and also by an increase in the prices for some fruits and vegetables during the
second half of the year.9

5. Employment
During 2004 the expansion in economic activity was accompanied by an improvement in employment indicators. In
general, the most outstanding aspects in the performance of the labor market during that year were the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
An increase in formal employment throughout the year, although to a lesser extent during the fourth quarter.
The creation of new jobs was more vigorous in the case of permanent jobs than in temporary jobs, and also in larger
companies.
The increase in formal employment was generalized throughout practically all the states of the country, however
greater dynamism was observed in the northern region.
The number of workers enrolled with the Mexican Social Security Institute—IMSS) increased in most sectors, including
the manufacturing sector.
INEGI’s monthly surveys on manufacturing employment indicated that recuperation in this area of employment was
significant in the maquila industry. Nonetheless, the level of employment in this activity still demonstrated a substantial
decrease in relation to the maximum levels reached in 2000.
When the overall year is taken into account, the rate of open unemployment in urban areas was slightly higher than in
the previous year, since this indicator remained high in Mexico City for the entire year.11

6. Wages
In general the main wage indicators were characterized by moderate growth during 2004 in relation to that observed
during the previous year. The Unit Cost of the Labor Force (Costo Unitario de la Mano de Obra—CUMO) diminished in
maquiladora industries and non-maquiladora manufacturing, as well as in the retail trade sector. In these three cases, the
effect can be attributed to both the favorable trajectory registered in labor productivity, as well as the moderate increases
in real average remunerations.12

In 2004, productivity per worker increased in the primary sectors of production: 6.3% in the manufacturing industry, 2.4%
in the maquila industry, and 7.9% in trade. Real remunerations did not vary in the manufacturing sector; they decreased
by 0.2% in the maquila industry; and increased by 2.7% in trade, and therefore unit costs of the labor force diminished in
all sectors: manufacturing (-5.8%), maquila (-2.6%) and trade (-4.8%). This is a tendency that has been observed since
2002.13
7. Foreign Direct Investment
In recent years, Mexico has reformed its Law on Foreign Investment (Ley de Inversiòn Extranjera—LIE), and has signed
various free trade agreements and Agreements on Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments (APPRIs), in
order to open up new investment opportunities, and to offer greater certainty and legal security to national and foreign
investors. These measures have significantly enhanced Mexico’s appeal to investors, and have contributed to increasing
the risk-return relation for investors.
In relation to the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) received during the period from 1994 to 2003, Mexico comes in fourth
place among developing countries and second place in Latin America. Even in 2003, Mexico was in third place among
developing countries and in first place in Latin America, ahead of Brazil. Between 1994 and 2003, Mexico received 142.5
billion USD in FDI, maintaining its position in fourth place among developing countries receiving foreign investment. Even
during 2003, according to data from UNCTAD, Mexico was third among developing countries and first in Latin America,
ahead of Brazil.14
By the end of 2004, foreign investment received by Mexico for the year had reached a total of over 19.2 billion USD. This
investment flow was composed of over 16.6 billion USD from FDI, and over 2.6 billion USD in portfolio foreign investment,
with annual increases of 46% and 243%, respectively.15

During the first quarter of 2005, a total of more than 3.7 billion USD was received by Mexico in Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI), an amount that is 4.3 billion USD less than that registered during the first quarter of 2004. It is important to clarify
that this reduction can be explained by company fusions and acquisitions that were registered in the first quarter of 2004,
since if these operations are not included, there was an annual increase of 16% in FDI. It is also important to mention that
FDI represented 1.4 times the deficit in current accounts, which ratifies the sustainability of external accounts.16 The
prognosis for foreign direct investment in 2005 is over 14.3 billion USD, and for 2006, over 13.7 billion USD.
The opening in trade, investment and employment has resulted in significant growth in exports, which became the pillar
of Mexico’s economic growth. From 1994 to 2000, exports constituted the fundamental pillar of economic growth and also
job creation in Mexico. The export sector was the most dynamic in Mexico’s economy, and the sector generating the most
employment. During this period, the growth of exports contributed more than half of GDP growth, and one of every two
jobs generated was related to export activity. Nevertheless, despite the less than favorable performance of exports
during 2001 to 2003 (average annual growth of 2.2%) and due to the dependence of the national GDP on foreign trade
(30%), exports currently play a determining role in the recuperation and growth of the overall economy.

1. International Economic Environment
In 2004 the Mexican economy was favored by the consolidation of the global recuperation process, with the world
economy registering the highest annual growth rate (5.1%) since the mid-1970s. The impulse for this expansion was the
vigorous economic activity in the United States, China and the majority of emerging economies, counteracting the weakness
evident in Japan and the countries in the “euro zone.” While global activity decelerated in the second half of the year (due
in part to the impact from the rise in oil prices), the US and Chinese economies continued to register elevated growth
rates. The expansion in the United States was also characterized by a surge in industrial activity and in employment,
areas in which recuperation was lagging behind in 2003. In response, midway through the year, the Federal Reserve
Bank implemented a policy of gradual increases in interest rates. Despite this measure, and despite the perception of risk
due to the elevated level of the deficit in US current account, plus its possible impact on exchange rates, international
financial markets adjusted fairly smoothly, and the country risk in emerging countries continued to diminish, reaching
historic minimums.
The growing importance of Asian economies in the global economy has had a significant impact on the demand for raw
materials and in particular for energy. Since these economies are characterized by a relatively intensive use of these
goods, the increase in their share of world growth has been manifested in greater pressure on the prices of these
products in international markets, contributing to a rise in inflation in advanced economies during the year.
Conditions for external financing were favorable for emerging countries during 2004. The abundant liquidity in international
markets, the search for greater returns by investors, and the improved economic situation in emerging countries contributed
to the above. In this context the sovereign risk margins for these countries fell to historic minimums.17
In a context of generalized dynamism encompassing nearly all the countries of the region with very few exceptions, Latin
America and the Caribbean experienced a growth rate of nearly 6% in 2004, and it is expected that this rate will be
approximately 4.3% in 2005 and close to 4% in 2006. If these predictions are confirmed, a period of four consecutive
years of economic expansion will be completed, signifying an increase in the per capita GDP of approximately 10%
between 2003 and 2006.

Latin America has benefited during these years from a highly favorable external context, characterized by growth in the
world GDP and international trade, an increase in the prices of raw materials, and low interest rates. The expansion of the
demand has been driven by the exporting of goods and services. At the same time, because of the continuity of the
growth process in a context of increased external competitiveness and a surplus in the current accounts and in the
primary fiscal balance in many countries of the region, we are seeing the beginning of the creation of investment
opportunities. In addition, the slow but sustained recuperation of the wage mass, due to both the increase in employment
as well as the increase in wages, has begun to promote private consumption. In addition to the above is the considerable
surplus in the current account characterizing the region, making it possible to support an increase in domestic demand
without a forecast of tensions in the external sector in the short term.18

3. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Global prospects for FDI are positive in both the short and medium terms. Nevertheless, both the scope and the pace of
recuperation in FDI levels will vary among the different regions and industries. Strong competition for attracting FDI is
expected, and most countries will intensify their efforts to attract investment toward their key sectors, offering greater
incentives and expanding their liberalization policies.
The services sector appears to have the most potential for attracting FDI flows, especially tourism, telecommunications
and information technology. The expectations for manufacturing industries are also positive in certain sectors such as the
electronics, automotive and machinery industries. The primary sector can expect a moderate inflow of FDI.

INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION
INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
Asia and Central and Eastern Europe are viewed as the most attractive regions for FDI. Meanwhile, a weak recuperation
of FDI is expected in Western Europe and Africa (2004-2005) and Latin America (2006-2007). In the 2004-2005 period
the primary countries receiving FDI are expected to be China and India in Asia; South Africa and Egypt in Africa; Brazil
and Mexico in Latin America and the Caribbean; Poland and Russia in Central and Eastern Europe; and the United
States and the United Kingdom among industrialized countries. The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany
and Japan will continue to be the primary sources of FDI, and China and South Africa will be added to this list.
In terms of modes of investment, it is expected that fusions and acquisitions will continue to be popular in developed
countries, while investment in industrial facilities will be preferred in developing countries. The emergence of the
delocalization phenomenon indicates that countries with a low-cost labor force will be those most benefiting from FDI, in
activities such as production, logistics, support, sales and marketing. In some countries, there will also be investments
that require first level infrastructure as well as a skilled labor force.
These positive tendencies could be minimized by the presence of various risk factors, such as the volatility of oil prices
and an increase in protectionism, as well as the existence of regional conflicts and threats of terrorism.
In general terms, tendencies indicate that positive factors will surpass the negative ones. However, the recuperation of
FDI flows will be modest in comparison with the boom witnessed in the period from 1999 to 2000 and promoted by FAS.
Industrialized World
In 2003, there were differences in FDI figures among developed countries. Nevertheless, overall, less FDI was received
in both the United States and the European Union. Currently, both macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators point to
a recuperation of FDI in the United States, the European Union and Japan. It is expected that the United States will
continue to be the primary receiver of FDI among developed countries, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. At
the sectoral level, expectations for FDI are positive in only a few service sectors such as computers, business-focused
services, banks and insurers. In the manufacturing sector, investments appear to be directed at machinery and equipment
industries, and the publishing sector, and the media should also be mentioned here.
Africa
In recent years, FDI flows to Africa have stagnated, despite the significant increase experienced in 2003. And there is no
evidence indicating that FDI flows will increase substantially in the near future. However, prospects for an abundance of
FDI in Africa in 2004 and the following years are promising, given the potential of the region’s natural resources, the
bonanza in world markets for basic products, and the most optimistic predictions of investors for the region. In the
services sector, there are expectations for wholesale and retail trade, the tourism industry and hotels and restaurants.
Among manufacturing industries, the food and beverages industries appear to be the most promising. In the primary
sector, agriculture appears to rate above mining and oil. And the countries with a wealth of natural resources (Angola,
Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and South Africa) continue to be the primary countries receiving FDI.
19
INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION
INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
Asia-Pacific
The surge of FDI flows into the region was due to the vigorous economic growth within the primary economies, to the
improvement in the investment climate and to regional integration, which promotes intra-regional investments and facilitates
expansion of production networks by transnationals. In this region there were great differences in FDI flows between the
various sub-regions and countries, as well as by sectors. Overall, investment was concentrated in northwestern Asia and
in the services sector. China was the world’s primary receiver of FDI in 2003, ahead of the United States, which had
traditionally been in first place. Some Asian countries benefited substantially from FDI in the form of research and
development. In the services sector, it is expected that in the short term, FDI will flow into production, distribution, sales,
logistics and support services, and later, into tourism, construction and computers. Prospects for the manufacturing
sector are less positive, however there is hope for the automotive, machinery, chemical, electrical and electronics industries.
In the primary sector, primarily oil and gas attracted the most investments.
Latin America and the Caribbean
For the fourth consecutive year, FDI flows into Latin America and the Caribbean diminished in 2003, with the lowest
annual figure since 1995. As a consequence of the reduced rhythm of privatizations, the weak economic recuperation of
the European Union (the primary source of FDI for the region, apart from the United States), and the recession or slow
growth in various countries of the region, following the crisis in Argentina, the decrease of FDI has seriously impacted
Latin America and the Caribbean. FDI flows diminished especially in Brazil and Mexico, the main receiving countries in
the region. The principal factors were the disappointing growth of the GDP, a drop in fusions and acquisitions, as well as
delays in privatization programs. In the short term, the recuperation of FDI depends on the economic recuperation of the
major countries and on the efficiency in resolving structural problems. It is expected that the United States, Spain and
Canada will continue to be the primary sources of FDI, and that the traditional receiving countries will continue to be
Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Investment flows will be directed to fewer industries than in other countries. In the services
sector, hotels and restaurants, tourism, sales and construction will be the outstanding areas. In the manufacturing sector,
only plastic products will benefit from FDI.
Central and Eastern Europe
FDI flows in Central and Eastern Europe have increased gradually since the 1990s, when these countries abandoned
their socialist systems and began a process of market reforms. After a record year in 2002, there was an unexpected
collapse in FDI flows into the region in 2003, motivated primarily by the end of privatization programs in the Slovak and
Czech Republics, two of the major receiving countries in the region. As well, investment flows into the Russia Federation
also diminished. In the services sector, an increase in investment is predicted in business-focused services, construction,
education, health, computers and transportation. In the manufacturing sector, investment is expected in the electronics
and electrical industries, in the manufacturing of vehicle motors, as well as in the food and beverages industries. In the
primary sector it is expected that investment will be greater in the mining and oil sectors than in agriculture. The combination
of relatively low wages, low types of corporate taxes, and access to European Union subsidies –with all of these factors
accentuated by the favorable climate for investment, a highly-skilled active population and the unrestricted access to the
rest of the European Union market— are together expected to convert this region into attractive sites for FDI, both from
other European Union countries and from other countries outside the region.19

Foreign Investment Regulations
III
1. Introduction
Requirements for domestic and foreign investors vary in accordance with their objectives and type of business. In Mexico,
as in other countries, it is necessary to follow a set of laws and general rules for legally operating a business.
Current regulations establish the cases in which foreign investors may own 100% of the capital in a Mexican company, or
may acquire more than 49% of the capital or fixed assets of existing companies.
The law establishes certain restrictions for foreigners with regard to the use of land: Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution
maintains that the strip of land 100 kilometers wide along the country’s borders and 50 kilometers wide along coastlines
is deemed a “restricted area,” where foreigners may not acquire direct dominion over lands and waters, “whether for
tourist or industrial development.”
Nonetheless, in accordance with the current Law on Foreign Investment, foreigners may acquire dominion over real
estate located in the restricted area, for non-residential purposes, with the requirement that they must notify the Secretary
of Foreign Relations within 60 business days after such acquisition takes place. They may become the legal owners of
real estate in the restricted area, in accordance with the following:
•
•
20
Foreigners who wish to acquire real estate outside restricted areas, or obtain concessions for exploration and exploitation
of mines and waters in national territory, must present prior written notification to the Ministry of Foreign Relations in
which they agree to the provisions of section I of Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution, and must obtain the corresponding
permission from the Ministry.
When the real estate that a foreigner wishes to acquire is in a municipality located completely outside restricted areas,
or when there is interest in acquiring a concession for exploitation of mines and waters within national territory,
permission will be understood as granted if the Ministry of Foreign Relations does not publish a negative verdict in the
official publication Diario Oficial de la Federación within five business days of the date on which the request was
filed.20
See Ministry of the Economy and House of Representatives.
21
FOREIGN INVESTMENT REGULATIONS
INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
•
When the real estate to be acquired is in a municipality located partially within a restricted area, the Ministry of Foreign
Relations will respond to the request within 30 business days following the date on which it is filed.
Foreign ownership of Mexican real estate in any other part of the country is not subject to restrictions.21

23
FOREIGN INVESTMENT REGULATIONS
INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
Currently, the level of the Mexican economy’s opening to foreign investment represents 93.3% (704) of the 754 activities
and products included in the Mexican Classification of Activities and Products (Clasificación Mexicana de Actividades y
Productos—CMAP), and open to foreign investment. In 606 activities, foreign investors may hold 100% of shares, and
therefore only 98 are regulated by the Law on Foreign Investment.23
3. Neutral Investment
Neutral investment consists of investment in authorized Mexican companies or trust funds that is not calculated when
determining the percentage of foreign investment in the capital of Mexican companies, with only pecuniary or limited
corporate rights granted to shareholders, and without conferring control of the company at any time to such shareholders.
The Ministry of the Economy has the centralized jurisdiction to authorize the use of the neutral investment mechanism
stipulated under the Fifth Chapter of the Law on Foreign Investment (LIE), under the following three schemes:
•
•
•
Neutral trust fund
The issuing of a special series of neutral shares
Neutral investment by international financial development institutions (this requires a favorable resolution from the
National Commission on Foreign Investment).
Minority shareholdings or investments using the Neutral Investment scheme conducted by foreign individuals or companies
is an option when the economic activity involved is subject to maximum limits of participation.24
4. Recognized Forms of Incorporation
There are three forms for conducting investment projects that are recognized in Mexican legislation:
1. Through the establishment of a foreign company in Mexican territory, which may take place through one of two
modalities:
a) As a company branch or office of representation, in which income is generated. These are companies legally
constituted in foreign territory and legally recognized in Mexico. In order for these foreign companies to become
established and regularly conduct commercial transactions in Mexico, authorization is required from the Ministry of
the Economy for the purpose of enrollment in the Public Registry of Commerce. Foreign companies legally
established in the country will not be allowed to conduct any activities or acquisitions that are reserved or subject
to specific regulations under the Law on Foreign Investment.
23
24
See Law on Foreign Investment.
See Law on Foreign Investment.
24
FOREIGN INVESTMENT REGULATIONS
INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
b) As an office of representation, in which income is not generated. These foreign companies may not carry out
commercial transactions and are, instead, only entities representing foreign companies. Their sole purpose is to
provide information and consultation services regarding the activities, products or services provided by their
headquarter offices abroad. This type of office may only be established in national territory with authorization from
the Ministry of the Economy; enrollment is not required and such an office must only request to be registered (in
zeros) with the Treasury Ministry.
2. Through the incorporation of a Mexican company in which foreign investors may own up to 100% of capital.
Mexican commercial legislation recognizes six types of companies. Foreign companies must prove they fall under
one of these categories, and must obtain the corresponding authorization and registration with the Ministry of Foreign
Relations and the Ministry of the Economy.
The most common type is the Business Corporation, which may be constituted as a company with variable capital. It
has a specific name and is composed exclusively of partners, whose obligation is limited to the payment of their
shares. According to the Law on Foreign Investment (LIE), foreign investors may participate without restrictions in a
Mexican commercial company, except when it involves activities or acquisitions that are reserved or subject to specific
regulations. Since March 2002, reforms have been carried out with the aim of simplifying the process of initiating a
business and making it more agile, as demonstrated in the diagram on the following page.
3. Through a Mexican company that is subject to specific regulations.
Minority shareholdings or investments using the Neutral Investment scheme conducted by foreign individuals or
companies is an option when the economic activity involved is subject to maximum limits of participation.25

International Negotiations
IV
1. Free Trade Agreements
Mexico is the country with the most extensive network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in the world. It has developed
this type of agreement with 42 countries in three continents; ten of these countries were incorporated into the European
Union in May 2004. The network of agreements represents a unique business opportunity of gaining preferential access
to a potential market of 944 million persons.
Mexico’s strategy in the area of international negotiations includes consolidating its network of FTAs and diversifying its
export markets. In line with this strategy, it signed the Mexico-Japan Economic Association Agreement (EAA) in September
2004, and maintains negotiations with MERCOSUR countries with the aim of achieving a free trade area with that region.
Another one of the pillars in Mexico’s general development strategy is to promote investment by both Mexican and
foreign companies, as negotiations are concluded on the chapters on investment in FTAs that have remained open, and
by establishing agreements for promoting investment with nations in Latin America, Asia and Europe.28
Mexico-Japan Economic Association Agreement
Effective since: 2005
In terms of trade liberalization, this agreement establishes that Japan has immediately liberalized the tariff applied to 91% of tariff
items in the industrial sector. In the medium term, it will eliminate the tariff applied to 4% of tariff items, while the remaining 5%
consists of products considered by this Asian country to be sensitive products. Even so, for these products, Japan has granted
immediate access to Mexico, free of quota-based tariffs. This is the case for leather footwear and garments. In the agro-food and
fishing sectors, Japan liberalized 796 tariff lines that represent 99% of exports to that country; this liberalization will occur gradually
over a period of ten years. Mexico liberalized the tariff applied to 40% of tariff items. These are goods not produced here and are
inputs for national industry, such as high-tech products. In the medium term, 9% of tariff items will be opened up. In ten years,
Mexico will gradually open up 49.5% of the tariff items corresponding to sectors in which there is national production.
Mexico – Uruguay FTA
Effective since: 2004
In terms of trade liberalization of goods, this treaty establishes the immediate lifting of all tariffs in the industrial sector, with the
exception of footwear, in which case tariffs will be lifted in a ten-year program, and wool fibers, in which case the current annual
import quota is maintained at 1.8 million square meters for the first year of the agreement, to be progressively expanded up to 2.3
millions. Products for the automotive sector will be regulated by the agreement between the two countries, in the framework of the
Economic Complementation Agreement No. 55, effective between Mexico and MERCOSUR countries. In the agricultural sector,
240 products of interest to Mexico are liberalized, and sensitive products for our country, such as corn, beans, poultry meat, and
animal fats, are excluded. The tariff for beef is decreased by 1%, over three years, signifying that from the current 10%, it will be
decreased to 7%. The current quota of 4,400 tons of cheese is increased by 2,200 tons, for cheese destined for industrial use or
sold in units of up to 5 kilograms per unit.

Mexico – European Free Trade Association (EFTA)
Effective since: 2001
This Treaty establishes the gradual, reciprocal liberalization of markets for both parties. In the case of industrial products, Mexico
negotiated a total opening for 100% of its exports of industrial products, beginning in July 2001. EFTA countries negotiated a
gradual lifting of tariffs applicable to their industrial exports to Mexico, over a period from 2001 to 2007. Mexico negotiated bilateral
agreements for the agricultural sector with Iceland, Norway and Switzerland-Liechtenstein, and consequently access and the lifting
of tariffs are different for each case.
Mexico – Guatemala – Honduras – El Salvador (Northern Triangle) FTA
Effective since: 2001
More than 50% of Mexico’s exports to the Northern Triangle have been free from tariffs since the agreement went into effect, and the
remaining will be liberated in a period of between 3 and 11 years.
Mexico – Israel FTA
Effective since: 2000
This agreement establishes the complete liberalization of trade between the two countries effective since January of 2003.
Mexico – European Union FTA
Effective since: 2000
In May 2004, ten new Member States were admitted into the European Union, and consequently the new bloc is currently formed
by 25 countries. The new members are Cyprus, Slovenia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, the Czech Republic
and the Slovak Republic. The European Union has therefore become the world’s largest trade bloc, representing a market of 455
million consumers (74 million from the new Member States), with a GDP of approximately 9.5 billion USD. The program for liberating
Mexican products was concluded in January 2003, while the corresponding program for European products will not be concluded
until January 2007. With respect to tariff barriers, European Union products will receive treatment similar to that received by products
from Canada and the United States. Since most Mexican exports already enjoy tariff-free access to the EU, the expansion of the EU
places Mexico in a better position in relation to other countries.
Mexico – Nicaragua FTA
Effective since: 1998
This agreement specifies a gradual reduction in tariffs over a maximum period of 15 years. By June 2002, tariffs had been eliminated
for 78% of Mexican exports to Nicaragua, and according to the calendar for liberalization, it is expected that tariffs will be eliminated
for 19% more by July 2007.
Mexico – Bolivia FTA
Effective since: 1995
This agreement was characterized by a rapid process of opening up trade in products. With its implementation, tariffs were lifted on
97% of Mexico’s exports to Bolivia and on 99% of Bolivia’s exports. The year 2006 marks the end of the maximum period for lifting
tariffs, which began with a maximum tariff of 10%. In the case of agriculture and agroindustrial goods, the period for liberating trade
is 15 years.
Mexico – Colombia – Venezuela (G-3) FTA
Effective since: 1995
This agreement –which allows secure access to a broad market beginning July 10, 2004— lifted tariffs from all products, with the
exceptions of the automotive sector (which will be free from tariffs in 2007), textiles, petrochemicals and agriculture.
Mexico – Costa Rica FTA
Effective since: 1995
In January 2004 the process of eliminating all tariffs on Mexico’s non-agricultural exports to Costa Rica was concluded. In this
agreement, norms were established for assuring national treatment for goods and services from both countries, and mechanisms
were established for the effective elimination of non-tariff barriers.
Mexico – United States – Canada NAFTA
Effective since: 1994
Since this agreement was implemented in 1994, tariffs have been eliminated on 84.5% of all of Mexico’s non-oil and agricultural
exports to the United States, and 79% of those to Canada. After ten years since NAFTA entered into effect, only 1% of products are
subject to tariffs. Therefore, the focus is now on other areas, such as the liberalization of rules of origin established in the Agreement.
As of June 2004, a preliminary agreement was reached for liberalizing rules of origin on a wide range of products, such as food
products and industrial and consumer goods, and it may be implemented by January 1, 2005.
Mexico – Chile FTA
Effective since: 1992
Signed initially as an economic Complementation Agreement, this agreement encompassed the entire universe of tariffs, with the
exception of those on products such as petroleum, gasoline, some foods, oils and cigarettes. All tariffs were eliminated in 1998
when Mexico and Chile signed the FTA. The elimination of tariffs and levies, as well as removing apples from quota requirements,
will be achieved on January 1, 2006.

2. Agreements on Promotion and Protection of Investments
Agreements on Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments (Acuerdos para la Promoción y Protección Recíproca
de las Inversiones—APPRIs) are international agreements in the area of foreign direct investment (FDI) which, based on
reciprocity, offer certainty and security to national and foreign investors interested in participating in the productive sector.
APPRIs also include mechanisms for resolving controversies and the possibility of indemnities, which reinforces the legal
framework and provides certainty for investment.
Currently, there are approximately 2,181 APPRIs in effect around the world.29 Mexico has continued to negotiate and sign
these agreements for the purpose of diversifying capital flows entering the country, and at the same time they serve as a
vehicle for technology transfer and the development of new productive schemes.

3. Agreements to Avoid Double Taxation
The purpose of agreements to avoid double taxation is to prevent taxpayers from paying a comparable tax in the same
period in two or more national fiscal jurisdictions. These agreements offer the following benefits:
a) Avoid double taxation;
c) Reduce tax burden from income consolidation, and
b) Avoid tax evasion;
e) Reduce taxes on dividends.

1. Introduction
At the end of 2004, public and private investment in the energy, hydraulic, communications and transportation sectors
was over 311 billion pesos, an amount 28.2% higher in real terms than the corresponding amount for 2003. The estimate
for 2005 is over 340 billion pesos, with a real increase of 9.3% in relation to the amount spent the year before. This
investment as a share of the Gross Domestic Product comes to 3.9% in 2004, and it is estimated at 4.2% for 2005.
In relation to the total, the share of this investment in the oil industry was 51.6% for 2004, and 43.4% for 2005. For these
same years, 29.5% and 34%, respectively, was invested in transportation and communications infrastructure. An amount
equivalent to 14.2% of the total was invested in electrical infrastructure in 2004, and this figure is expected to be 17.4%
for 2005, while spending on the development and maintenance of hydraulic infrastructure corresponded to 4.7% and
5.2%, for 2004 and 2005, respectively.30
Highway System
The national highway system consists of 341,687 kilometers. One of the most important elements of this system consists
of 14 major highways that connect the country’s five meso-regions and provide ongoing access and connection among
the country’s major cities, borders and seaports. These major highways correspond to slightly over 54% of inter-regional
highway traffic, and approximately 71% of them are in a process of modernization.
During 2005, the total amount of resources being dedicated to the program for construction and modernization of federal
highways is nearly 9.9 billion pesos, which will permit the construction and modernization of a total of 850 kilometers. The
same tendency is expected to be maintained in the budget for investment in highways during the coming years, making
it possible to move ahead with their modernization and thus offer efficient infrastructure for reducing costs of transportation
of people and products.31
Railway Infrastructure
In order to expand the scope and accessibility of the Mexican railway system, to guarantee its security and improve its
operations, the federal government continued to supervise compliance with commitments for investment established by
licensed railway companies.

INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
During 2004, a total of nearly 2.7 billion pesos was invested in railway infrastructure projects. This amount is 4.7% greater
in real terms than the amount invested in 2003. For 2005 public and private investment in the amount of over 2.7 billion
pesos was programmed, and by the month of July, an estimated amount equivalent to 45.9% of that total had been
applied.
In 2004 Mexico’s railway system transported the largest amount of cargo recorded in its history: 88.1 million tons, or 3.4%
more than in 2003. The estimate for 2005 is 90.7 million tons. Also, a total of 253,000 passengers were transported in
2004, or 6.3% fewer than in 2003. Of that total, 147,000 were tourists and 106,000 were persons residing in isolated
communities. In 2005 it is estimated that 255,000 passengers will be transported, with an increase of 0.8% in relation to
the previous year.
As a result of the actions to improve infrastructure undertaken by licensed railway companies and the implementation of
an ongoing verification program by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT), for the purpose of preserving
the safety of this form of transportation, only one railway accident took place during the period from January to July 2005,
as was also the case in 2004, and a 6.8% decrease in the number of incidents was registered, in relation to the previous
period.32
Port Infrastructure
The country’s new model of port organization, which has been consolidated during the last four years, has made it
possible to move from subsidized, centralized and unproductive ports to business centers with high returns, and capable
of offering quality services in line with international competitiveness and price standards to exporters and importers and
the economy in general.
The actions and strategies undertaken by the federal government during the last four years with the aim of continuing to
modernize the national port system have been successful, generating highly positive results for the country and for
national and international investors.
The total public and private investment in Mexican ports during the present administration, aimed at continuing to modernize
infrastructure, terminals, facilities and equipment, has reached an exceptional level of over 20.9 billion pesos, of which
over 16 billion, or 76.9% of the total, correspond to private investment, and over 4.8 billion correspond to public investment,
specifically over 925 million in fiscal resources, and over 3.9 billion in resources of the Comprehensive Port Administrations
(Administraciones Portuarias Integrales—APIS).33
Airport Infrastructure
National airport infrastructure is made up of the regional airport groups: the Pacific region with 12 airports, the NorthernCentral region with 13, the Southeast region with 9, and the Mexico City Airport Group composed of the International
Mexico City Airport (AICM), Mexico City Airport Services, and Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA), as a decentralized
public entity, with legal status and its own patrimony, administering and operating 23 airports grouped into the Northern
and Southern Corporation (13 international and 10 national). At the same time it has been awarded the concession for
currently building and administering 62 fuel stations in private and public airports through national territory.34

INDUSTRIAL COSTS IN MEXICO 2006. A Guide for Foreign Investors
In the area of airport infrastructure, the federal government has maintained supervision over investment commitments
made by the Pacific, Northern-Central and Southeast Airport Groups, for the modernization of licensed airports, making
it possible to improve operational services and services to passengers in general, with emphasis on facilities for persons
with different capacities, in accordance with national and international standards.
For the consruction, expansion and modernization of airport infrastructure, the federal government and licensed airport
companies together invested over 2.3 billion pesos, equivalent to 114.9% more in real terms than the amount invested in
2003. For 2005 investment amounting to over 3.2 billion pesos is programmed, of which 48.1% are federal resources,
and 51.9% correspond to the private sector.
During 2004 air transportation of passengers and cargo registered annual increases of 11.6% and 13.7%, respectively.
For 2005 it is estimated that 42.2 million persons and 492,300 tons of cargo will be transported. By the month of July, 24.9
million persons and 275,000 tons had been transported, amounts 6.9% and 5.8%, respectively, greater than the
corresponding amounts for the prior year. These rates are to a significant extent the result of the reactivation of international
commercial aviation.35
