Palos Garza had the honor of attending the Extraordinary General Assembly of CAAAREM — a key forum for strengthening Mexico’s customs sector and institutional framework. During the session, important reforms were approved to reinforce self-regulation and further consolidate the foundations of a stronger, more transparent, and competitive foreign trade environment. Our participation reaffirms Palos Garza’s commitment to customs compliance excellence, continuous regulatory updates, and the ongoing development of a highly professional and forward-looking customs industry. We remain dedicated to supporting a stronger international trade landscape for Mexico.

Raising Cane's is set to enter Mexico via a new deal with Alsea. Mexico remains a prime market for international growth for U.S.-based operators, particularly fast casuals and QSRs. For Alsea--one of the largest restaurant operators in Latin America and Europe, the deal fills a substantial and somewhat surprising gap in its brand protfolio, which has lacked a scalable chicken concept for some time. As the group continues to rebalance its portfolio, it will be interesting to see how it grows both Raising Cane's along with Chipotle in the market. #restaurants #QSR #chicken https://lnkd.in/eZ7P-_yj

For years, Latin America & the Caribbean conversations focused on which development model to adopt. This year, at the CAF -banco de desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe- forum, the question shifted to something far more concrete — and uncomfortable: 👉 Are we capable of executing what we already know must be done? From heads of state to ministers, economists, and multilaterals, there was rare convergence around a shared diagnosis: ✨the region’s main constraint today is not vision, but institutional trust, fiscal credibility, and delivery capacity. From today’s agenda, few highlights are especially relevant: 🔹 Stability is now the foundation of growth Growth is no longer framed as an ideological debate, but as the outcome of fiscal discipline, predictable rules, and credibility with citizens, investors, and multilaterals. Subsidies, debt sustainability, and execution failures were discussed openly — including their political cost. 🔹 Growth without productivity is no longer viable The conversation moved decisively toward investment, productivity, infrastructure, energy systems, and human capital. Redistribution without growth is increasingly recognized as economically and politically unsustainable. 🔹 Private sector confidence is a structural necessity What stood out was how explicitly leaders acknowledged that private investment is not optional. The role of the State is being reframed — from operator to facilitator, regulator, and guarantor of rules. 🔹 Regional integration: political consensus, execution deficit There is broad agreement on the need for integration, but deep frustration with decades of under-delivery. The future points less to grand treaties and more to concrete, bankable projects that connect energy, logistics, and markets. 🔹 A narrower — but more investable — opportunity set Perhaps the most important insight: Latin America is not entering a generalized growth cycle. It is entering a selection cycle, where countries that demonstrate credibility, governance, and execution will move ahead — and those that do not will fall further behind. What struck me most was the tone: less ideology, fewer slogans — more realism. That may not dominate headlines. But it is exactly what long-term growth, trust, and reputation require. More reflections as the forum continues. #ForoCAF #AméricaLatina #EconomicOutlook #CorporateAffairs #Leadership #PublicPolicy #Reputation #Growth #Governance

Strengthening U.S.-Mexico Relations: A Strategic Perspective Today, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio concluded a significant visit to Mexico, underscoring the importance of robust bilateral cooperation on security, trade, and migration. His discussions with President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted shared commitments to regional stability and mutual respect. Key takeaways from the visit include: Enhanced Security Collaboration: The establishment of a high-level bilateral task force aims to combat transnational threats, including drug trafficking and organized crime, while respecting Mexico's sovereignty. Trade and Economic Partnership: Both nations reaffirmed their dedication to fostering economic ties, ensuring that trade policies benefit the industries and communities on both sides of the border. Addressing Migration Challenges: The dialogue focused on collaborative efforts to manage migration effectively, emphasizing humane and lawful approaches. I view these developments as pivotal for creating a stable and prosperous environment for businesses. At Noverek, we are committed to aligning our operations with the evolving geopolitical landscape, ensuring that our strategies support sustainable growth and contribute positively to the U.S.-Mexico economic corridor. We look forward to the opportunities that this strengthened partnership will bring, fostering innovation, sustainability, and mutual prosperity. #USMexicoRelations #BilateralCooperation #SustainableGrowth #Noverek #IndustryLeadership #inncesusgroup #CATABLEND

I read with great interest the recent Forbes Central America article on AMMI’s performance this year. Achieving 505% year-over-year growth compared to 2024 is not just an impressive number; it reflects a very deliberate combination of strategy, execution and long-term vision. From a legal and business perspective, what stands out to me is how this growth has been supported by international expansion, operational integration and a clear focus on sustainability. Scaling at this pace requires strong corporate structures, effective risk management and close alignment between legal, finance and operations — a reminder that #LegalStrategy, when properly embedded, becomes a true business enabler. It is genuinely satisfying to see a Latin American company deliver this level of performance with discipline and clarity. I feel proud to witness examples like this, where #CorporateGovernance, #InternationalExpansion and #OperationalExcellence move in the same direction and reinforce each other. Stories like AMMI’s reinforce why I believe deeply in the role of #GeneralCounsel and #BusinessLeadership in driving sustainable growth, particularly in emerging markets. A valuable case study for anyone involved in #CrossBorderBusiness, #ExecutiveLeadership and #StrategicGrowth

An extraordinary panel of female communications leaders shared powerful stories and hard-won lessons from the front lines of crisis communications at the Public Relations Global Network conference in Mexico City. Laura Tamayo Laris (Bayer) reminded us that in chaos, the communicator must be the calmest voice in the room. Paola Fontanelli (Pfizer) spoke candidly about pushing back against misinformation—even when it’s politically uncomfortable. Lorena Villarreal (Danone) rejected the outdated notion of heroic leadership, advocating instead for inclusive, team-driven crisis response. A common thread throughout the conversation: true leadership in crisis isn’t about control—it’s about calm, collaboration, courage, and care. #CrisisCommunications #Leadership #WomenInPR #CorporateCommunications
