MXThe Mexican business group Coparmex has highlighted several challenges facing President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration during its first two years in office. These include rising insecurity, insufficient investment, lack of legal certainty, energy shortages, addressing informality, and improving healthcare capacity. According to Coparmex, extortion and disappearances remain significant issues, with over half of businesses between October 2025 and March 2026 being victims of crime. The organization emphasized that without security, confidence, and investment, economic growth remains limited. It noted that gross fixed capital formation has stagnated, reaching 21.2% in the first quarter of 2026, lower than the previous year. While foreign direct investment has reached record levels, these do not translate into new projects. Coparmex called for clear regulations, reliable institutions, and conditions that allow companies to make long-term decisions. It also pointed out that formal employment has not met expectations, with less than half of needed jobs created between January and July. Additionally, 34% of the population lacks access to health services, and 18.6% face educational lag.
