Sinaloa has attracted US$1.6 billion in FDI

During his weekly conference, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, highlighted the confidence that investors have shown, which has been reflected in the notable progress of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the state. Halfway through the six-year term, 81.8% of the goal of US$2 billion established in the State Development Plan 2021-2027 has already been reached.

By the end of December 2024, US$1.6 billion in FDI have been captured, which has motivated the state's Ministry of Economy to update the six-year investment goal, increasing it from US$2 billion to US$3 billion.

The pace of FDI attraction since the beginning of the governor's administration has been as follows: in November and December of 2021, US$23.8 million were registered; in 2022, US$871.8 million more were attracted; in 2023, a total of US$425.4 million; and in 2024, another US$316.1 million were invested, totaling US$1.6 billion in the period from November 2021 to December 2024.

According to local information, the governor emphasized that investors carry out a detailed analysis of the environment before placing their capital and, in this sense, Mazatlan has consolidated itself as a reliable and safe destination to invest, particularly in the tourism sector. He pointed out that the growth in the arrival of cruise ships and visitors reflects this confidence.

Rocha Moya assured that events such as Carnival, Easter Week, Easter Week and Motorcycle Week passed without any incidents of insecurity, as did the traditional Fiestas de las Cabras in Teacapán, Escuinapa.

"All the tourists who came in 2025 to Mazatlan did not have any insecurity problems. They came to Carnival, to Easter Week, to Motorcycle Week. I am talking about thousands, hundreds of thousands, not just a few. We have taken care of them and we will continue to take care of those who visit us", said the governor.

Finally, he reiterated that his administration is paying special attention to the issue of security, with the aim of continuing to promote tourism, especially in Mazatlan, the state's main tourist destination, which receives hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign visitors every year.
