Chinese investors eyeing Mexico's SEZs, say Mexican officials

October 09, 2017


Abstract : Chinese investors are keenly interested in participating in the development of special economic zones (SEZs) in Mexico, Mexican officials said on Monday.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese investors are keenly interested in participating in the development of special economic zones (SEZs) in Mexico, Mexican officials said on Monday.

"We see a huge appetite in the area of developing the infrastructure of the special economic zones, in which (the Chinese) have great capacity," Enrique Huesca, the federal executive secretary in charge of developing the country's SEZs, told a gathering of foreign correspondents.

Last Thursday, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced an initial investment of some 5.3 billion U.S. dollars in the project to develop a number of SEZs.

Over the coming months, Huesca added, the government will release more details about the project and the investors taking part, not just from China, but also other parts of the world.

Also at the event was Deputy Minister of Finance Vanessa Rubio, who explained that much of the intended investments must still be approved by their respective board of directors.

"We know the investments are firm, but we have yet to announce them" due to the pending approval process, said Rubio.

The Mexican government has promoted the project as a way to attract investment, especially to the less developed regions of the country.

The first three SEZs are to be built in the ports of Lazaro Cardenas-La Union on the west coast; Coatzacoalcos on the eastern Gulf of Mexico; and Puerto Chiapas, on Mexico's south Pacific coast. Two more are planned for Progreso on the Yucatan Peninsula and Salina Cruz, also to the south. Enditem
