Legal Certainty for Foreign Investment
Signing Agreements on Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments (RIPPA) is part of a
strategy established by the Mexican government to provide national and foreign investors a legal
framework that offers stronger protection for foreign investment in Mexico and Mexican
investment abroad.
In general, RIPPAs cover the following disciplines: investment definition, scope of application,
promotion and admission, investment treatment, expropriation, transfers and resolution of
Investor-State and State-State controversies.
