Johannes Hauser, general director of the Mexican-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Camexa), assured that no German company has disinvested in the Mexican economy due to high insecurity or judicial reform.
“We have not seen a disinvestment nor has a German company left Mexico due to insecurity issues,” said the businessman within the framework of the VI Mexico-European Union Forum, organized by the Euro-American Foundation and the European Union.

“When German companies invest abroad they always weigh the risks that go hand in hand with insecurity, regulation and legal issues,” he noted.
He said that with the strong reinvestment in recent years, confidence in Mexico has been demonstrated, because “if there was no confidence that the government model works well, there would be no reinvestment.”
During 2024, German companies invested more than 13,584 million dollars in the expansion of plant operations and new factories in Mexico, according to the Ministry of Economy.
This level of investment has been one of the highest in more than two decades made by German companies in the Mexican economy.
In the first 9 months of Claudia Sheinbaum’s government, the arrival of German investment in Mexico increased almost 100 percent, compared to the same period in the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
From October 2024 to June 2025, German firms invested more than 5,873 million dollars, when from January to September 2019 the firms injected capital of 2,979 million dollars, according to the agency in charge of Marcelo Ebrard.
According to the business representative, investment by German companies has been somewhat halted due to the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on Mexican exports and the rest of the world.
Once the tariff pressures launched by the United States government are overcome, the way will open and there will be a clear sky for investment and trade, he declared.
“In general terms, German companies can trust the Mexican Judiciary, but we also do not know what the impacts of the judicial reform will be and it will be something that will be known in the medium term,” he noted.

He said that neither the judicial reform nor the reform of the Amparo Law will stop the arrival of German investment in Mexico.
