Leon/Gto News

The People’s Government, led by Governor Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo, reaffirms its commitment to provide certainty to companies, investors and productive sectors of Guanajuato in the face of the start of the review process of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (USMCA).

The announcement made by the United States Government does not represent the end of the Treaty nor does it modify the current trade conditions, since the USMCA itself contemplates a mechanism of annual reviews, during which the agreement remains fully in force, maintaining the tariff benefits, the rules of origin and the legal framework that has strengthened North American economic integration since its entry into force in 2020.

For Guanajuato, the economic relationship with North America is strategic. The United States is the main trading partner and second-largest investor in the State.

Guanajuato has a solid export base:

• In 2025, it registered $37.988 billion in exports
• It is the 6th largest exporting state in Mexico
• It boasts 1,972 exporting companies
• 83% of which are micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)
• It has a commercial presence in 138 countries

North America’s trust in Guanajuato is also reflected in investment; the United States has committed 99 investment projects, totaling more than $5.457 billion and generating 32,665 jobs.

Canada has secured 16 investment projects, representing $807 million and 3,628 committed jobs. Together, the two countries have accumulated investments of over $6.264 billion and the creation of more than 36,000 committed jobs, solidifying their position as strategic allies for Guanajuato’s economic growth and competitiveness.

So far in the current administration, Guanajuato has reached 52.3% of the six-year goal of attracting investment, with the consolidation of 61 projects, representing a committed investment of more than 4 billion 184 million dollars.

The investments come from countries such as:

• Japan, the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, China, Italy, Korea, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and Mexico

They occur in strategic sectors such as:

• Automotive, new technologies, agrobusiness, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, services and construction

It is reiterated that the USMCA review process is a mechanism provided for in the Treaty itself and does not imply an interruption of trade between Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Guanajuato will continue to promote an agenda of competitiveness, attract investment, strengthen foreign trade, and provide ongoing support to the productive sector.
