The Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) has proposed a new strategy to strengthen the Treaty between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (T-MEC), aiming to promote a joint effort between the public and private sectors to achieve inclusive growth, attract more investment, and foster sustainable development in the economies of the three countries.
In this regard, Coparmex emphasized the importance of establishing tripartite dialogues to strengthen labor markets and promote greater cooperation between Mexico and the United States. They highlighted that Mexico has a great opportunity to rethink its relationship with the United States based on trust, as strategic allies, which will expand job opportunities in the country.
In the face of the new Trump administration, Coparmex pointed out the need for a solid strategy that attracts investments, generates jobs, and increases national and North American competitiveness. In a moment marked by unilateral threats such as tariffs on Mexican exports, mass deportations, and a review of the T-MEC, it is essential that both nations prioritize mutual respect and cooperation to address common challenges and strengthen the region's competitiveness.
Coparmex proposed a four-point strategy to achieve these objectives: incentivize the creation of more and better jobs, promote a culture of peace, enhance security and crime prevention, as well as move towards higher value-added sectors in exports to generate wealth and gain more international influence. Additionally, they highlighted the importance of preserving the rule of law to boost productive activity and attract investments.
