NAFIN 2025–2030 Plan, AICM Reopens Terminals, Cablebús 5 Awarded

This week in infrastructure, NAFIN set out a 2025–2030 roadmap to expand MSME financing, deepen inclusion, and strengthen domestic suppliers as nearshoring accelerates. In Mexico City, AICM’s renovation hit 35% progress, with GAM reopening high-traffic areas in both terminals to ease flows and reinforce World Cup preparations. 

North of the border, New Mexico added US$4.2 million to revive a pipeline of “ready-to-fund” projects tied to ports of entry, water systems, and the Santa Teresa corridor. Back in the capital, the city moved forward with Cablebús Line 5, awarding the contract to Doppelmayr as it pushes to scale urban connectivity.
