Overview
- Mexico’s Business Council delivered 38 projects slated for activation in 2026, a pipeline reported at more than $40 billion, following a closed‑door session at Mexico City’s Museo Kaluz.
- Top executives voiced public backing for President Claudia Sheinbaum as Finance Secretary Édgar Amador pledged to ease obstacles, aligning with the goal of lifting investment to 25% of GDP.
- Entrepreneurs flagged insecurity, extortion, low growth and informality as the main drags on capital deployment, and announced business committees to address those constraints.
- The package spans additional investments across sectors such as agribusiness, mining, energy, fuel retail, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, retail and electronics manufacturing, with an emphasis on pairing private capital with social welfare.
- In Washington after the World Cup draw, Sheinbaum met U.S. President Donald Trump and Canada’s Mark Carney, called the meeting excellent, and said their teams will keep working on commercial issues as Trump’s recent comments raised questions about the T‑MEC’s 2026 review.
