Foreign direct investment in Mexico rose 28% from a year earlier to $12.24 billion, boosted by a major acquisition in the beer industry and rebounding U.S. demand for manufactured goods.
The figure includes $7.36 billion that Mexico received in foreign direct investment during the second quarter, a 34% increase from a year earlier, the Economy Ministry said in a press release. The leading country of origin was the Netherlands, accounting for $6.96 billion.
