Mexico, Global Firms Set USMCA Strategy as New CCE Chief Moves to Unlock Investment

Pledging close coordination with the government, José Medina Mora will prioritize clearing energy bottlenecks and taking a unified, technical business position into the 2026 review.

Overview

  • Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard and the Council of Global Companies agreed three early‑2026 workstreams: align positions for the USMCA review, deepen domestic supply chains, and speed the landing of investments.
  • Members including AT&T, FedEx and HSBC backed the plan, and Deloitte data underscore urgency, with about $230 billion announced since 2023 but roughly $9.8 billion materialized.
  • The CCE unanimously elected José Medina Mora for 2026–2027, who set goals to reactivate investment, build a coordinated stance for mid‑2026 talks, and visit Washington early next year.
  • Medina Mora said the council will track ten flagship projects and focus first on energy to enable data centers and other tech investments, seeking government collaboration to unblock permits.
  • Accepting that U.S. tariffs are likely to persist, he said the aim is to secure better tariff conditions for Mexico while keeping the agreement on track.
