New Federal Competition Law Adopted in Mexico to Improve Competiveness

One of the key goals of President Enrique Peña Nieto is to increase the competitiveness of the Mexican economy and thus to generate high economic growth and more and better jobs. An important mechanism to achieve these goals is a modern and effective economic competition legal framework. With this in mind the Mexican Congress approved on April 29, 2014, the new Federal Law of Economic Competition replacing the preceding law on the subject that dates back to 1992. This new law came into force on July 7, 2014.

By opening markets, Mexico has consolidated its position as a strategic manufacturing center and a global trade hub in the last two decades. Nowadays Mexico is increasingly demanding high quality industrial real estate across the country to place new export capacity.
