Index Nacional highlights unity & strength of IMMEX

During the IMMEX Compliance 360 Forum, one of the most important gatherings for Mexico’s manufacturing and export industry, Humberto Martinez Cantu, president of Index Nacional, highlighted the strategic importance of the event and the federal government’s support for strengthening the competitiveness of the IMMEX sector.

Martinez emphasized that the presence of high-level officials confirms the government’s recognition of the industry as the country’s economic engine and a key player in attracting investment and creating jobs.

Companies in the program account for 62% of the country’s total exports, making them a fundamental pillar for economic growth, attracting investment, and integrating Mexico into global value chains.

Despite international uncertainty, Mexico continues to make progress in securing new investments and expanding existing operations. He noted that the Undersecretary of Foreign Trade announced projects nearing completion, which will help strengthen the Mexico Plan aimed at attracting advanced manufacturing and nearshoring.

Given the global context and political changes in the United States, Martinez acknowledged that uncertainty exists, but assured that the IMMEX industry is working in coordination with the Mexican government to anticipate scenarios and ensure stability for investments.

Martinez Cantu reiterated that the key to sustaining the sector’s growth is unity between industry and government, as well as ongoing coordination to resolve regulatory, fiscal, and operational challenges.
