Mexico’s labor and employment framework is undergoing a significant transformation following the constitutional reform to Article 123 published on March 3, 2026, reducing the statutory workweek from 48 to 40 hours. As of April 8, 2026, legislative activity has shifted toward the implementation of this reform through secondary legislation, while Congress simultaneously reviews a broader set of labor initiatives introduced in recent weeks.

On March 19, 2026, President Claudia Sheinbaum, following up on what was presented in her infrastructure plan last February, presented to the Chamber of Deputies the Initiative for the Promotion of Investment in Strategic Infrastructure for Development with Welfare (the "Law"), which establishes a specific legal framework to promote investment, Co-investment and financing of strategic public infrastructure projects with coordinated participation of the public, private and social sectors. It creates vehicles and governance bodies to channel resources, distribute risks and accelerate priority projects, under principles of fiscal stability, transparency, austerity and alignment with national development plans. It contemplates a special regime of procurement, support and benefits, as well as specific reforms to the Federal Law of Budget and Fiscal Responsibility to strengthen planning, registration and accountability of multi-year commitments.
