In the face of the new international trade panorama, the Government of the State of Guanajuato reaffirms its commitment to protect jobs and strengthen companies and productive sectors, always prioritizing the well-being of Guanajuatense families.
As an answer to the challenges arising from US tariffs, the Government of the People, under the leadership of Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, has launched the Work Plan to Address Tariffs and Economic Strengthening. This comprehensive strategy positions Guanajuato as a competitive and resilient state, promoting investment, nearshoring, and sustainable economic development.
“The most important thing is to protect jobs and provide stability to our companies. In Guanajuato, we are not sitting back and doing nothing. We act with strategy, coordination and commitment to guarantee the economic growth of the State and the well-being of our people,” said the Governor.
In this context, it is essential that the three levels of government work together, as well as close collaboration with the private sector. We will work in line with the Federation to ensure a joint strategy to meet the challenges of the global panorama.
Only with a common, committed and coordinated front will we be able to guarantee the well-being of Guanajuatense families and ensure the future of our economy.
The Secretary of Economy, Claudia Cristina Villasenor Aguilar, stressed that “the key to growth and competitiveness in Guanajuato is the unity of the government, the private sector and society. Together, we can face global challenges.”
Strategic Axes of the Plan
The plan is based on four fundamental axes to guarantee the economic solidity of Guanajuato and mitigate the effects of tariffs:
- 1. Macro. Center of National economic decision-making: Coordination with key actors at the national level to design response strategies to tariffs. A National War Room will be created with businesspeople, trade experts and representatives of the productive sector.
- 2. Large. Center of State economic decision-making: Creation of the State War Room, which will integrate the main industrial clusters of Guanajuato (automotive, aerospace, agro-industrial and chemical) to strengthen its competitiveness.
- 3. MiPyMEs. Valor Guanajuato: Actions focused on strengthening micro, small and medium-sized companies, promoting their integration into value chains through financing, training in foreign trade and digitalization.
- 4. Social. Productive vocation for SMEs: Direct support to small producers and local businesses through programs such as Prosperity Ecosystems, MarcaGTO 2.0 and Microcredentials, promoting local consumption and productive articulation.
Concrete Actions
To consolidate Guanajuato as a solid and competitive state, the following actions will be implemented:

It is crucial to continue promoting products made in Mexico, especially products from Guanajuato, as a fundamental part of our economic strategy. Strategies such as Marca Guanajuato position our products in national and international markets and strengthen local and regional trade, which generates a direct impact on the economy of Guanajuato.
Guanajuato remains on course and is positioned as a benchmark for certainty, stability and economic growth. With this plan, the Government of the People continues to defend employment, competitiveness and the development of companies and productive sectors, ensuring a future of opportunities for all.
