Establishment of the Front Office Window for Investors and the Sole Registry of Investment Projects.

On July 26th, 2023 the Official Gazette of the Federation published the Decree creating the Front Office Window for Investors and the Sole Registry of Investment Projects (the "Decree"), which will commence its operations 180 days from the day following its publication.

Pursuant to the Decree, through the registration in the Sole Registry of Investment Projects, people interested in carrying out investment projects in Mexico equal to or greater than 100,000,000 USD (One Hundred Million Dollars) will have the guidance and assistance of the Ministry of Economy in connection with the procedures that - in accordance with the applicable legislation - must be carried out to invest in different areas, except in financial, banking, credit, savings and financial innovation matters.

On the other hand, the Front Office Window for Investors seeks to ensure that any potential investors, regardless of the amount of their investment, have access to all relevant information to carry out all necessary procedures to invest in Mexico (corresponding authorities, requirements, costs, response times, offices, telephone numbers, etc.). It also aims to provide investors with updated information validated by the corresponding authorities on relevant aspects that will allow them to make decisions while investing (communication routes, supply chains, labor force, infrastructure, geographical location, etc.).
