Mexico

UK ONS data suggest that the net FDI position (value) for UK investment into Mexico stood at £2.3 billion at the end of 2006. (View UK FDI analysis by sector for 2006)

Key points:

• The data is relatively consistent over time, increasing between 2002 and 2005 before falling back slightly in 2006. The 2006 data has a relatively small proportion of data excluded for reasons of confidentiality (only 6% of the total);
• The ONS data suggest the most significant sector in Mexico is financial services, accounting for 82% of UK total investment in the country with the next significant sector manufacturing of chemical, plastic and fuel products, although the data suggest that only 14% of UK investments are in this sector.
