INTRODUCTION

Mexico is at an unbeatable historical moment to attract investment. Political, econo-

mic and social stability, together with the nearshoring phenomenon, position Mexico
as one of the most attractive and competitive countries at an international level.

Nearshoring involves companies relocating their production chain, or part thereof,

to a spot closer to the final consumer in order to reduce risks, time and costs.

Throughout this decalogue, you’ll learn why Mexico is the best destination for
your investment.

Mexico is part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which provides the methodology to calculate FDI through the Benchmark Definition of Foreign Direct
Investment. It is important to note that the countries of China, Singapore, Brazil and India are not part of the OECD, so there could be differences in the precise methodology to calculate FDI.
