2025 will be a remarkably interesting and challenging year for companies all over the world, particularly in the North American region, where political changes and new administrations in Mexico, the US and Canada will try to consolidate regional integration.
The main concern is the dynamic between the incoming administrations in Mexico and the United States. The situation is still evolving, and companies need to stay alert to potential regulatory changes in both countries, whether they are international corporations with a presence in the region, American companies operating in Mexico, or Mexican companies operating in the US and Canada.
The upcoming review of the USMCA in 2026 will be a major focus for experts in all three countries. This deal is crucial for regional integration, and companies with operations in Mexico must monitor it closely. A revised and strengthened deal will bring certainty for all involved parties.
Despite these regional challenges, there are positive signs internally. The Sheinbaum administration is promoting investment through the 'Plan Mexico 2030' initiative, which aims to strengthen the economy and promote regional development within Mexico.
Companies operating in Mexico must keep up with regulatory developments in areas such as labor, tax, and customs. Compliance and strategic prevention are key for all sectors, especially in areas of strategic importance like energy, telecommunications, and manufacturing.
