Offering certainty and legal certainty to foreign capital, the state of Jalisco expects to attract 15 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects in 2022.

Although for reasons of confidentiality he could not reveal the name of the companies, the head of the Secretariat for Economic Development (Sedeco), Roberto Arechederra Pacheco, anticipated that in the first half of this year they plan to make the first two investments for the state.

However, he commented, "these are projects that are linked to the automotive electrical parts industry, the software industry and some maquiladora companies that want to make components that they were producing in China and that prefer to be close to the United States."

According to the head of Sedeco, in 2021 the entity attracted 14 projects that represented a Foreign Direct Investment of 1,200 million dollars, a figure that placed Jalisco in third place nationally in attracting FDI.

After reiterating the projection of the employer sector that plans to generate 60,000 formal jobs in 2022, Arechederra Pacheco stressed that Sedeco intends to attract investment projects that generate well-paid jobs to the federal entity.

He added that the companies that have approached the agency to attract their projects to Jalisco are looking for talent in engineering and programming that makes them have a high salary level.

The head of Sedeco indicated that, despite the policies of the federal government that sometimes discourage the attraction of capital and show a high country risk, "the government of Jalisco is a friendly government with investments" and proof of this, he said, is the development of the logistics hub to offer an infrastructure that offers competitive advantages to companies.
