On May 28, 2026, Mexico’s newly formed National Antimonopoly Commission (CNA) released its draft Institutional Program covering 2026 to 2030. The CNA, created in July 2025 to replace the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), now oversees Mexico’s antitrust enforcement with technical and operational independence under the Ministry of Economy.
The draft program identifies several priority sectors for enforcement actions, including health, transportation, agro-food, financial services, and real estate. Vidal Llerenas Morales, a columnist for El Economista, noted that the CNA intends to focus on sectors that have the greatest impact on the population’s well-being.
The CNA has made the draft program available for public consultation through its official portal, encouraging stakeholders to submit comments ahead of the document’s finalization. This inclusive approach aims to align enforcement priorities with various industry and consumer perspectives. Details on the exact duration of the consultation period have not been released.
The transition from COFECE to the CNA represents a strategic shift designed to strengthen antitrust oversight in Mexico. Legal advisors and corporate compliance teams will need to align with the CNA’s evolving regulatory focus, particularly in sectors critical to Mexico’s economy and consumer protections.
For more details, the draft program and consultation process can be accessed at the CNA’s official website.
