In the generation , transmission , distribution and marketing of electric energy , water supply and natural gas supply through pipelines to the final consumer, Campeche, Guerrero, Chiapas, Michoacán and Puebla showed progress in November 2024.
Meanwhile, in the mining sector , Veracruz, Zacatecas, Chiapas, Michoacánand Jalisco were the states with the highest increases in this industry in the penultimate month of 2024.
These figures come in the context of a suspension of 25% tariffs by US President Donald Trump on Mexican products covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (T-MEC) until April 2.
This scenario could reflect what would happen in other sectors, such as certain mining products, including steel and aluminum , whose 25% tariffs on all imports from the United States are scheduled for March 12, which would affect Mexico and Canada, trading partners of our northern neighbor.
