López Obrador, a leftist, announced the Tax Incentive Decree for the Northern Border Region which will create free zones near the border that are over 15 miles wide and will reportedly encompass approximately 2,000 miles. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the free zones will:

- Slash the Value Added Tax for goods coming into the country from 16 percent to 8 percent
- Boost the minimum wage 100 percent to 176 pesos ($8.80), and
