Mexico's Economy Ministry says T‑MEC review will extend beyond July deadline

Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard told reporters that Mexico does not intend to rush a fast‑track conclusion of the T‑MEC review slated for July 1. The bilateral talks with the United States will focus on securing the best commercial position for Mexico, covering tariffs, finance, intellectual property and digital trade, and are expected to last several weeks beyond the official deadline. Formal discussions with Canada will commence after the United States finalises its bilateral work with Mexico.

Ebrard highlighted that investor confidence remains high, noting record foreign direct investment of US$23.59 billion in the first quarter of 2026 – a 10.4 % year‑on‑year increase. The United States contributed US$10.21 billion, while a group of five countries (the US, Spain, Australia, Japan and Canada) accounted for 73.5 % of total FDI.
