President delivers homes, settlements and deeds in Xoxocotla, Morelos.

President Claudia Sheinbaum led in Xoxocotla, Morelos, the delivery of 43 new homes from Conavi, 348 settlement certificates from Fovissste and 79 deeds from INSUS. It’s all part of the Housing for Wellbeing Program.

“Previous governments took from the people, we increased the minimum wage, we are providing homes with accessible loans and we are removing debt from families,” said the president.

“Those from before governed for a few, the governments of the Transformation govern by the people and for the people of Mexico,” he added.

Plan details

Sheinbaum recalled that the program contemplates the construction of 1.8 million new homes in the country; the forgiveness and restructuring of unpayable loans for 5 million families; and the delivery of one million deeds to guarantee legal certainty.

The homes are aimed at people with incomes of one to two minimum wages. The land for new houses is already available throughout the national territory.

The Secretary of Agrarian Development, Edna Elena Vega Rangel, explained that in Morelos the goal was expanded from 10 thousand to 24 thousand new homes. Of these, 3,893 are already hired. In addition, 8 thousand families will receive deeds and more than 35 thousand will improve unpayable loans. Nationally, the program will benefit more than 10 million families.

The director of Conavi, Rodrigo Chávez Contreras, reported that of the 500 thousand homes under his charge there are already 320 projects to build 150 thousand houses. Of them, 75 thousand have already been assigned in 119 municipalities. In Morelos, 2,000 homes are being built in seven municipalities; 90 of them for Xoxocotla, of which 43 were delivered today.

Governor Margarita González Saravia thanked the president and confirmed that the state already has land for the 24 thousand houses in eleven municipalities.

One beneficiary, Araceli Pacheco López, thanked the delivery of her home, which she described as “very nice.”

T-MEC negotiations: tariffs and regional content on the table

Third round of dialogue between Mexico and the US addresses labor mechanisms and strategic rules.

Key points from the third round

Between July 21 and 23, Mexico and the United States held the third round of negotiations towards the review of the T-MEC. The central issues were tariffs, labor mechanisms, regional content and rules for sectors such as automotive, steel and aluminum.

The president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), José Medina Mora, explained that it was proposed to modify the Rapid Response Labor Mechanism to make it reciprocal. Currently, the investigations only apply to companies in Mexican territory.

“It is necessary that the mechanism be applied equitably between both countries,” said Medina Mora.

Another point of discussion was the United States’ intention to increase American content in products made in the region. Mexico defends the concept of regional content and rejects changes that reduce trilateral integration.

The leader added that the seasonality of agricultural products and the impact of tariffs on steel, aluminum and the automotive industry were also reviewed. Some US automakers in Mexico face higher export costs compared to competitors from Japan, Korea and Europe.

For his part, the president of Coparmex, Juan José Sierra, expressed uncertainty regarding the possibility of annual reviews of the treaty, but valued the dialogue between the partners. He indicated that Mexico requires strengthening legal and energy security and the conditions to attract investment.

“It is positive that communication continues, but we need certainty for investors,” said Sierra.

Concamin pointed out that the joint statement between the Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, and the US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, confirms that both countries maintain an institutional work path.
