Mexican economy: achievements in employment and minimum wage

President Claudia Sheinbaum presented 12 indicators that reflect economic advances under the model of Mexican Humanism. He highlighted the responsible administration of spending, the recovery of the minimum wage and the impact of the Wellbeing Programs.

In labor matters, the minimum monthly wage went from 2,800 pesos in 2018 to more than 9,400 pesos in 2026, an increase of 122% endorsed by the OECD.

The director of the IMSS, Zoé Robledo, reported that at the end of June 2026, 22 million 779 thousand 704 formal jobs were registered, a historical record. The base contribution salary reached 669.1 pesos per day, also unprecedented. Mexico achieved the second lowest unemployment rate among OECD members, at 2.7%, only behind Japan.

In the financial field, the Secretary of the Treasury, Édgar Amador Zamora, pointed out that Mexico entered the top 10 in the world for attracting Foreign Direct Investment with 41 billion dollars captured. Bilateral trade with the United States totaled 839 billion dollars, maintaining Mexico as its main partner. Global exports reached 723 billion dollars.

The report also showed an annual growth of 5.9% in fixed investment as of April 2026 and a 2.1% increase in private consumption. Inflation fell to 3.6%, its lowest level in eight months.

Federal authorities attributed these results to a greater distribution of wealth. They highlighted that 13.5 million people escaped poverty, reducing inequality gaps.

President Claudia Sheinbaum held a meeting this Wednesday at the National Palace with Guy Parmelin, president of Switzerland, who is making a state visit to strengthen the commercial relationship between both nations.

The Swiss president arrived accompanied by a delegation of businessmen. The objective: boost economic cooperation and open new investment and trade opportunities.

Honors and reception

Parmelin and his wife, Caroline Merotto, were received with honors in the Central Courtyard. The national anthems of both countries were sung.

The visit coincides with 80 years of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Switzerland. It also reinforces Mexico’s ties with Europe.

“Within the framework of 80 years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Mexico, a milestone that reflects decades of commitment to mutual prosperity,” the Swiss embassy highlighted in a statement.

Parmelin and his wife arrived in Mexico on July 6. They were received by Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco Álvarez.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Sheinbaum and Parmelin are expected to hold a joint press conference.

Link to process for illicit operations

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) managed to link Gilda “N” to the process for operations with resources of illicit origin. The evidentiary data presented was sufficient to prove his probable participation in the crime.

The accusation focuses on deposits made from abroad that, according to the investigation, came from an illicit origin.

54 test data presented

During the initial hearing, the Public Ministry of the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Competition Control (FECOC) presented 54 pieces of evidence and held the technical debate in front of the defense. The control judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center, based in the North Prison of Mexico City, determined the order of connection to the process.

Four months were granted for the complementary investigation and a later date was set to review the precautionary measures.

Link to the Agronitrogenados case

The investigations, supported by the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC), link the accused with the corruption scheme of the Agronitrogenados case. Gilda “N” allegedly became a beneficiary of a company through the transfer of rights to Emilio “N”, serving as a possible proxy to hide illicit acts and facilitate the triangulation of resources.

The FGR stressed that, according to the law, the defendant is presumed innocent until a conviction is handed down.
