México busca cerrar lo antes posible la revisión del T-MEC para reducir la incertidumbre económica

Overview

  • Mexico’s economy secretary Marcelo Ebrard confirmed the trilateral review will start at the beginning of January 2026 and is slated to conclude by July 1, 2026.
  • Canada signaled readiness, with Prime Minister Mark Carney saying discussions with the United States will begin in mid-January and that Ottawa will protect Canadian interests.
  • Ebrard said the government’s goal is to “close the window of uncertainty” quickly and dismissed extending the timetable due to the U.S. election cycle.
  • The government is accelerating Polos de Desarrollo under Plan México to lock in investment after the review, citing opportunities in data centers and pharmaceuticals.
  • The July 1 milestone could set either a 16-year renewal or a shift to annual reviews through 2036, a choice that would shape planning for North American supply chains.
