Mexico Aligns Government and Global Firms as New CCE Leader Targets Faster Investment Ahead of 2026 T‑MEC Review

The push seeks to convert stalled pledges into projects under tariff pressure from the United States.

Overview

  • Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and the Council of Global Companies agreed on three early‑2026 workstreams: coordinate positions for the T‑MEC review, expand domestic suppliers, and speed the landing of investments.
  • The CEG, a group of roughly 60 multinationals that account for an estimated 40–50% of Mexico’s foreign direct investment, pledged support for Plan México and deeper national sourcing.
  • José Medina Mora Icaza was elected CCE president for 2026–2027 and set priorities to reactivate investment, present a unified technical private‑sector stance for the T‑MEC review, and conduct outreach in Washington in early 2026.
  • Medina Mora said the CCE will identify and unblock ten flagship projects, starting with energy, and aims to raise total investment to 25% of GDP while improving security, power availability and water access.
  • Deloitte data highlight the execution gap, with $53.1 billion in new investments announced through September 2025 but only $9.8 billion of $230 billion announced since 2023 materialized, and the Economy Ministry plans larger 2026 fairs to grow domestic supply.
