President Claudia Sheinbaum presented the initiative on March 19, 2026, as part of the federal government's effort to accelerate the 2026–2030 Infrastructure Investment Plan, which targets 5.6 trillion pesos in public and mixed investments. The breakdown allocates 54 percent to energy, 16 percent to rail, 14 percent to highways, and 6 percent to ports, with an additional 722 billion pesos committed for 2026 through co-investment. The law involves the LXVI Legislature's United Commissions of Infrastructure and Finance, federal agencies, private firms, development banks, and state and municipal governments across priority sectors including energy, transport, water, health, education, and urban development.
The new framework addresses gaps in the current system by enabling pre-budget project commitments and mixed participation structures while improving transparency in budgeting and risk allocation. The prior model's reliance on annual budgets slowed project execution; this shift to long-term contracting aims to accelerate rollout without compromising fiscal stability. Attorneys tracking infrastructure investment should monitor implementation details, the technical criteria for project selection, and ongoing debates regarding decentralization and fiscal risk management as the law takes effect.
