Financing for the most expensive projects implementing green energy systems, building transport infrastructure, and developing modern cities must come from foreign institutional investors. But high quality private investors are resistant to financing lumpy, illiquid investments in fragile, volatile states.

Institutional investors, such as pension funds and life insurance companies, with more than 70 trillion in assets, are a major additional source of long term capital. While such investment in long term productive assets like infrastructure is essential to generating the income that these investors demand, less than 1 of pension fund assets are allocated directly to infrastructure projects.

Indeed, foreign investors stay away from economies without basic infrastructure those with costly and unreliable roads, ports, communication systems and electricity and low effective consumer demand.

It was further suggested that the draft legislative guide should stress the role that local capital providers and investors might play in the development of infrastructure projects.

Do investors ask about a BIT?

Today, Mexico is seeking long term foreign investors to support ambitious and comprehensive reform efforts, with foreign participation particularly important for infrastructure investments in telecom networks, toll roads, gas pipelines, and, down the road, the oil sector.

The ERZ, focused exclusively on producing goods for export, would provide tax incentives, basic infrastructure and services, security, and a stable legal framework to investors.
