Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Economic Development Department is advancing energy projects and strengthening financing programs for small businesses to stimulate the state’s economy, particularly in the southern region.
Department head Paul Carrillo said reliable energy supply is crucial for attracting new investment and driving productive growth, prompting ongoing efforts to bolster infrastructure.
Simultaneously, the department maintains an active loan portfolio for small businesses. In Chetumal’s historic district, support can reach up to 100,000 pesos for commercial space remodeling and improvements, while loans elsewhere in the state go up to 70,000 pesos.
Carrillo noted that over 230 loans were issued last year and expressed confidence the number will increase in 2026, thanks to development bank backing and new financial instruments expected from Bancomext.
Rafael Ortega Ramírez, spokesperson for the Cancún Chamber of Commerce, said officials are also seeking to attract these incentives for Cancún businesses, though agreements have not yet been finalized.
