Reduction of violence in key states
President Claudia Sheinbaum noted that in Guanajuato, from March 18 to date, a 48% reduction in intentional homicides has been achieved, thanks to the arrest of generators of violence. In Guerrero, a significant 46.1% decrease in this crime was also reported.

Economic stability and commercial appeal
The President emphasized that Mexico is in a good economic position. It had the best March in its history, in economic terms, and there was a 19% real growth in tax collection, without taxes having been increased.
Thanks to the trade agreement, zero tariffs are being maintained for products contemplated in the USMCA, which favors attracting investments. Sheinbaum affirmed that the recent international stock market crisis does not represent a risk for Mexico, given the soundness of its economy.
