The Mexican Secretariat of Economy (SE) has announced its continued commitment to a comprehensive strategy aimed at combating illegal trade, informality, smuggling, and piracy. This initiative involves coordination among federal agencies, state governments, and various productive sectors to protect national production, consumers, and value chains. The SE emphasizes the importance of this multi-faceted approach in addressing various challenges related to illicit commerce.

Among the key actions highlighted by the SE are measures to strengthen the national industry in sectors such as textiles, footwear, steel, and sugar. The strategy includes the seizure of illegal goods and the establishment of inter-institutional groups to address unforeseen effects of existing public policies. These efforts are designed to bolster the domestic industry and ensure that consumers are protected from illegal products.

Additionally, the SE has reported progress in the creation of an observatory that will gather and integrate information from the private sector. This observatory aims to improve the understanding of illegal trade dynamics and enhance collaboration across sectors, ultimately contributing to a more effective response to piracy and smuggling in Mexico.
