Mexico Gross Fixed Investment YoY
Mexico’s Gross Fixed Investment measures the annual change in spending on fixed assets—both tangible and intangible—used in production for more than one year. The calculation includes machinery and equipment (new domestic products and both new and used imports), construction (valued at the buyer’s cost), transport equipment, software, intellectual property, and upgrades that extend asset life or increase capacity. This indicator reflects the total value of investments aimed at expanding or maintaining the country’s productive capacity.
