Shared Prosperity: the Senate's Economic Commission

The Mexican Senate's Economy Commission, chaired by Sen. Emmanuel Reyes Carmona, is advocating for a national economic strategy centered on Shared Prosperity (Prosperidad Compartida). This vision, a key pillar of the "second floor of the Fourth Transformation" under President Claudia Sheinbaum, aims to position Mexico as a global economic power. Its core philosophy is that prosperity must be shared: Development cannot benefit only a few, and wealth must be distributed to those with the fewest resources, Reyes Carmona said. 

The Four Pillars of the 'Plan Mexico' Strategy

"Plan Mexico" is the comprehensive strategy designed to consolidate Mexico as a high-value-added exporting power, leveraging the country's geographic position, talent, and opportunities created by nearshoring.

The strategy is structured around four fundamental axes:

• Reindustrialization with Technological Innovation: This pillar focuses on strengthening value chains and attracting high-value-added investment. It prioritizes national production, fosters innovation, and strengthens economic self-sufficiency.

• Balanced Regional Development: The goal is to drive development from within the country by creating poles of wellbeing (polos de bienestar) and productive infrastructure across all territories.

• Economic and Social Inclusion: This ensures that women, youth, and small businesses are incorporated into development opportunities.

• Sustainability and Energy Transition: The plan guarantees that economic growth is compatible with environmental protection.

“Businesses are actively collaborating with the Ministry of Economy and state governments in the development of Plan México, ” Reyes noted. “This is the strategy for the country to become an economic and exporter powerhouse. The ultimate goal is for Mexico to reach the 10th position among global economies,” he added. 

The "Plan Mexico" introduces two key tools intended to organize economic development, strengthen private investment, and ensure territorial justice:

Key Tools for Economic Development

1. Economic Development Poles for Wellbeing (Polos de Desarrollo Económico para el Bienestar): These poles serve as the foundation of regional development strategy, envisioned as integrated productive ecosystems where the state promotes investment, strengthens local capabilities, and facilitates public and logistical services. 

“Through these 16 development poles, we aim to promote development across the country,” noted Reyes. 

The poles will include:

• Targeted fiscal incentives based on regional productive vocation, encouraging investment in innovation and R&D

• Administrative facilities

• Energy and infrastructure viability

The strategy encourages business relocation, expands high-value local supply chains, and increases national and regional content through import substitution. The first stage includes the goal of generating 300,000 jobs and securing an investment equivalent to 1.5% of the GDP during the current administration. Key strategic sectors prioritized for these poles include Automotive and Electromobility, Aerospace, Electronics and Semiconductors, Energy, and Logistics.

2. Relaunch of 'Hecho en México'

The government has updated the national seal of origin to strengthen domestic industry. To use the seal, products must be manufactured, assembled, or processed in Mexico and meet a minimum threshold of national content—for example, 60% or more of national inputs, according to recent regulations. “Today, 80% of products mentioned on USMCA do not have tariffs. Our goal is for the remaining 20% to be exempt from those tariffs,” the senator said.

“As of September 2025, 2,634 companies had been authorized to use the seal. “Our work on USMCA, as Minister of Economy Marcelo Ebrard said, will ensure the agreement endures for the long term."
