In brief: Mexican industrial export activity to remain suspended

* Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced that the activities of Mexican firms that export industrial goods to the US will remain suspended for the time being. The Mexican government has ordered the suspension of all non-essential activity as part of its effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19). These restrictions are set to remain in place until 30 May but a group of firms that export industrial goods to the US requested permission to resume operations to avoid the disruption of Mexico-US industrial production supply chains. The request has been backed by the US Ambassador to Mexico Christopher Landau, who pointed out that some industrial activity dependent on Mexican imports has been declared essential in the US. But López Obrador said that his government could not grant the request at this time given that the Covid-19 outbreak has not yet subsided in the US nor in Mexico.
