Major Antitrust And Economic Competition Reform In Mexico

On July 16, 2025, the Decree amending, supplementing and repealing several provisions of the Federal Law of Economic Competition and the Federal Law of Parastatal Entities (the “Decree”) was published in the Federal Register.

The purpose of the Decree is, among others, to harmonize secondary legislation with the constitutional reform on organizational simplification published on December 20, 2024. Such constitutional reform set the basis to abolish the Federal Economic Competition Commission (“COFECE”) and the Federal Telecommunications Institute ("IFT"), as constitutionally autonomous agencies, transferring and consolidating their powers in economic competition matters into a single new antitrust agency under the authority of the Federal Executive.
