As mentioned in our August 2023 Alert, Mexico recently established a single-window investor portal and investment project registry ("Registry" or "RUPI"). Through this window, potential investors may obtain information concerning the federal, state, and municipal approvals to the investment.

The Rules aim to regulate the operation of the Registry and the issuance of an enrollment certificate for the investment.

The Registry seeks to make available to investors a guidance and support mechanism and assistance by the Ministry of Economy regarding the procedures and regulations applicable to investment projects equal to or exceeding USD $100,000,000 registered with the Registry.
