The Future Of Mexico's Trade Policy

With the recent appointment of Claudia Sheinbaum as president of Mexico, changes in Mexico's economic and trade policies, as well as pending tasks, are foreseen. In recent years, exports have grown, and Mexico has advanced in negotiating key free trade agreements, such as the USMCA, and "attracting(?)" foreign investments. However, significant challenges have also emerged, namely the growing dependence on Chinese imports, a "concerning" trade deficit, the urgent need to renew trade agreements like the EU-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (FTA – EU – MX) and obtaining new or different trading partners. Furthermore, President Sheinbaum now also faces pressure from the Trump administration.
