Mexico in July 2026: the most important developments in economy
Mexico's economy in July 2026 was shaped by trade uncertainty with the United States. On July 1 the United States announced it would not renew the USMCA trade deal with Mexico and Canada, leaving the future of North American trade unclear; the US had also delayed a 16-year extension. Mexico said it wanted to avoid uncertainty and later moved to speed up its review of the agreement. Nissan was cutting costs on cars made in Mexico under 25% US tariffs. On July 23 the United States imposed a 10% tariff on imports from Mexico and 60 other countries. Analysts suggested Mexico could turn the pressure into an industrial opportunity.
Separately, the European Union told Mexico that their trade deal ends in 2036, not 2042. Companies were planning an electric truck corridor on the Mexico-Querétaro route.
