From its perspective, Mexico is in a favorable position before the new commercial position of the world’s main economy, where the T-MEC has played a fundamental role.
The call made between President Claudia Sheinbaum and President Donald Trump in March, as well as the United States left Mexico out of the new rates initiated this month, are positive signs for the development of commercial exchange with the main destination of Mexican exports.
“Of course they have been months with deep changes in commercial and global policy, however, in the face of all those changes, which has been maintained, not only stable, but has had deep recognition and presence, is what is fulfilled within the rules of origin of the North American region,” he said.
Although today Canada’s exports also enjoy preferential treatment when complying with the regional content value under this commercial agreement, the president of the Empresarial Grupo Peo considers that the latest signals of the authorities that make up the T-MEC have inclined to hurry the review of the agreement.
Although his review was scheduled for the middle of next year, Gomez says that the authorities in Mexico are ready for this process.
“The T-MEC has an established process and its review is embodied by 2026, but the presidents of Mexico, the United States and Canada, have said ‘well, we can go ahead’, and there is already a team ready to do so, there is a team prepared to do so,” he added.
