In recent years, Mexico has become the main target of Basque direct foreign investment. This study analyzes the reasons, based both on the OLI (ownership, localization, internationalization) model and the Uppsala model. A survey was done expressly to evaluate the determining factors in this decision, and the author concludes that investment criteria coincide with the essential postulates of both models.
