Coahuila is reinforcing its foreign economic promotion policy in 2018. State authorities have expectations to secure more than 120 investment projects over the next two years. Out of the total number of estimated projects for the next 24 months, 18 are likely to start just during the first trimester this year. Roughly US$1.2 billion are going to be invested for these 120 new projects, bringing along the creation of approximately 30,000 direct jobs and nearly 40,000 indirect jobs, thus benefiting the five regions in the State.
