Annual Reports

The CBI Annual Report serves as a yearly analysis of the bilateral relationship between the United States and Mexico through an institutional lens. It provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of important interactions that have taken place over the year, including expert opinions that offer insights and reflections on these interactions. These reports are designed to document the most significant developments and achievements in the context of the binational relationship, and to offer valuable analysis and interpretation of these events.

Through their focus on rigorous research and data-driven analysis, annual reports can provide stakeholders with a valuable reference tool for understanding the complex issues and trends that shape the binational relationship. They often cover a wide range of topics, such as economics, trade, security, culture, and diplomacy, among others.

Expert opinions included in the annual reports provide a valuable perspective on the key developments of the year and help to contextualize the interactions and their implications for the future. Overall, annual reports play a critical role in promoting transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making in the context of the binational relationship.

Annual Report 2022

2021 saw the reactivation of several binational institutions, including the North American Leaders' Summit (NALS) and the High-Level Economic Dialogue (HLED), as well as the launch of the Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health, and Safe Communities. In 2022, these institutional efforts were further strengthened and expanded, though there were relatively few binational interactions at the cabinet level.

Unfortunately, historic institutional mechanisms like the U.S. - Mexico Interparliamentary Meetings did not occur in 2022. Given this context, the CBI 2022 report provides a comprehensive overview of the current U.S.-Mexico bilateral relationship status.
