Panelists identified Mexico as a critical crossroads for global supply chain reconfiguration, emphasizing the urgent need to leverage decoupling from China through robust 5G infrastructure and a shift from mega-projects to mid-market logistics. While domestic pension funds (Afores) and emerging insurance capital offer significant financing potential, experts argue that attracting international investment requires standardized contracts, credit expertise, and state-level financial diagnoses to mitigate political risk. The consensus calls for immediate execution of 2–3 replicable "quick wins" within 12 months to validate the market, effectively bridging the gap between ambitious industrial policy and tangible private sector capital deployment.
