The López Obrador administration has settled into office, and the mining industry remains key for achieving
the government’s goal of sustainable and inclusive growth. Simultaneously, global mining is finally recovering
from the last down cycle. Mexico’s task within this framework is to remain competitive against other attractive
jurisdictions. Nurturing a positive image of mining among policymakers and the general public is key to this
end. Miners must keep striving to operate in a manner that considers the natural environment. Moreover, as
mining is an activity with localized costs whose benefits often are not fully experienced locally, companies must
endeavor to bolster the development of the communities in their sphere of influence. Value-sharing mechanisms,
such as the Mining Fund, are crucial, as is strengthening local supply chains. Miners are also presented with the
challenge of regaining investors’ confidence and successfully navigating a dynamic financial environment.
