Mexico Renews Gasoline Price Stabilization Strategy Six Months

President Claudia Sheinbaum and Minister of Energy Luz Elena González presided over the six-month renewal of Mexico’s National Strategy to Stabilize Gasoline Prices, meeting with representatives from fuel companies and industry associations at Palacio Nacional.

Launched six months ago, the strategy has successfully lowered the national average price of regular gasoline to MX$23.54/L, shielding households and businesses from sudden price fluctuations and ensuring that this essential energy input remains predictable. The program relies on the voluntary participation of sector companies, who commit to keeping regular gasoline prices below MX$24/L, except in border regions, where cost structures and fiscal incentives naturally generate lower prices, and to continuously monitor volumetric controls.

During the first half of the strategy, the Ministry Energy, alongside ASEA, the National Energy Commission (CNE), PROFECO, the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency, and PEMEX, conducted more than 80 working meetings with importers, distributors, transporters, retailers, and industry groups. These sessions addressed critical operational and regulatory issues necessary for the program’s success.

Moving forward, SENER will maintain permanent working groups to review applicable regulations and technical standards, identifying areas for improvement to enhance both regulatory efficiency and effectiveness.

President Sheinbaum praised the energy sector’s commitment and engagement, highlighting that the initiative aims to protect consumers, ensure price stability, and place public interest at the center of energy policy. “This agreement represents another step in putting energy at the service of the people and aligning economic development with social equity,” she said.

The meeting included top officials across government and PEMEX, including CEO Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, Minister of Environment Alicia Bárcena, Minister of Finance Édgar Amador, SAT Director Antonio Martínez, and key ministers and directors from hydrocarbons, regulatory, and enforcement agencies.
