Overview
- The government and 32 companies signed the six‑month renewal on May 29, 2026 to keep a defined 24‑product basic basket capped at 910 pesos.
- Major supermarket chains including Walmart, Soriana and Chedraui joined the pact and agreed to begin in‑store PACIC signage from June 1 so shoppers can identify covered items.
- PROFECO will monitor retailer compliance while some suppliers, notably Grupo SuKarne, pledged concrete discounts such as a 5% cut on certain beef cuts to help meet the cap.
- The renewal operates alongside fuel measures that use IEPS incentives to hold gasoline magna below 24 pesos per liter and diesel at 27 pesos as a way to limit input‑cost shocks.
- PACIC is a voluntary public‑private coordination launched in 2022 credited by officials with moderating past inflation but it has limits if international commodity or supply costs rise sharply.
