⚡Electrification will dominate the new phase of global #energytransition. The share of #electricity in global final energy consumption would rise from around 23% today to 35% in 2035, & above 50% in 2050—making electricity the dominant energy carrier in the global energy system.

In his first term, President Trump was constrained.

This term, he has surrounded himself with people whose chief qualification is fealty. The result is reckless policy and the brazen pursuit of enrichment.

My take:

🚨🇲🇽 México no ha roto el 2% de crecimiento económico en los últimos 25 años

La economía mexicana no ha crecido por arriba de 2% desde 2000 a la fecha por la falta de un plan de infraestructura, la informalidad y los altos niveles de inseguridad jurídica y pública, consideró el vicepresidente y director general de BBVA México.

El PIB aumentó 1.9% entre 2000 y 2018, cuando fue gobernado por Vicente Fox Quesada, Felipe Calderón y Enrique Peña Nieto; y durante el gobierno de AMLO y el primer año de Claudia Sheinbaum, el crecimiento económico de México fue de 1.2%, apuntó. https://t.co/9hCGL30srJ

🌎 La informalidad laboral en México está por encima del promedio mundial de 49.3%.

A nivel internacional, el patrón es claro: a mayores niveles de pobreza, suelen observarse mayores tasas de informalidad.

⚠️ La falta de empleo formal tiene dos implicaciones clave:
— limita el acceso a derechos laborales
— se relaciona con mayor vulnerabilidad económica

En el IMCO tendremos #EnLaMira 🔎 la evolución de la formalidad y sus implicaciones para la productividad y el bienestar de los trabajadores.

✍🏻México puede posicionarse como proveedor para Estados Unidos y, al mismo tiempo, asegurar su propio acceso a minerales críticos como insumos para su estrategia industrial.

The True Size of Mexico 🇲🇽

[Alejandro Gómez T. @alejandrogomezt]

#BREAKING 🇲🇽 Mexico’s economy is not delivering the growth that was expected for 2026.

What we are seeing is a structural loss of momentum: weak job creation, stagnant domestic demand, rising inflation, and a persistent contraction in investment. This is a shift in the operating environment for companies.

📉 The data tells the story:
• Economic activity: +0.5% YoY
• Investment: -2.2%
• Construction: -8.0%
• Formal employment: +1.16%
• Inflation: 4.59%
• Trade deficit: +95.1%

For companies operating in Mexico, the margin for error has disappeared. The next decisions will define who adapts—and who doesn’t.

⚠️ The rules are changing:
• Profitability over volume
• Liquidity as a strategic priority
• Demand-driven operations
• More selective commercial strategy
• Differentiation over price competition

This is not a moment for expansion at any cost. It’s a moment for discipline, positioning, and strategic clarity.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

@AlJazeera informa que México y EU han acordado “revisar”el Tratado de Aguas de 1944, para cambiar la cuota quinquenal a entregas anuales. La @SRE_mx no ha informado nada. Es un tema muy delicado. @CILA @GobChihZN @gobcoahuila

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Mexico and the US have agreed to revise a 1944 water-sharing treaty, shifting Mexico’s five-year quota to fixed annual deliveries of more than 400 million cubic metres of water to the US.

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.
