Article 1: Coca-Cola Opens First-Ever “Casa Coca-Cola” in Mexico City
Mexico City, December 11, 2025 – Coca-Cola has inaugurated its first-ever “Casa Coca-Cola” in Mexico City’s upscale Polanco district. The immersive brand experience opened its doors today and features an exclusive bar, retail space selling Coca-Cola-themed fashion and souvenirs, and aims to strengthen the brand’s emotional connection with consumers.
According to a statement from Coca-Cola, the location is designed to be an international landmark. Louis Balat, President of Operations for Coca-Cola Mexico, stated that the space will allow the company to connect with consumers “more closely and authentically,” reaffirming Mexico’s key role in the company’s global vision. The move reflects Coca-Cola’s broader strategy of creating experiences that transcend the product itself, focusing on brand engagement. Casa Coca-Cola is now open to the public at Alejandro Dumas 122, Polanco, with hours from 11:00 to 20:00.
Article 2: Global Trade Projected to Grow Nearly 7% by End of 2025
Geneva, December 11, 2025 – Global trade is expected to increase by approximately 6.8% year-on-year in 2025, reaching an estimated $35.5 trillion, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
The latest UNCTAD update projects that goods will contribute $1.5 trillion to this increase, growing by nearly 6% compared to 2024, totaling around $25.9 trillion. Services are anticipated to rise by about $750 billion, marking a nearly 9% annual increase, reaching $9.6 trillion.
While global trade slowed slightly in the third quarter of 2025, it remained positive, with a 2.5% inter-quarter increase. UNCTAD forecasts this trend to continue into the final quarter of the year, with estimated growth of 0.5% in goods and 2% in services. The organization notes that international trade is expected to grow at a faster pace than the global economy in real terms during 2025.
Article 3: Questions Arise Over Cleaning Contract at Attorney General’s Office
Mexico City, December 11, 2025 – Concerns are being raised about a potential contract at the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) which appears to be favoring companies tied to the “Cleaning Cartel” despite legal obstacles. Aseo Privado Institucional and Armot Seguridad Privada y Servicios, both firms, have had their specialized service provider registry (REPSE) suspended since November 12th, preventing them from legally receiving specialized service contracts.
Despite the suspension, sources within the FGR allege that there are efforts to find a way to award the contract to these companies. The decision on the bidding process, originally scheduled for December 10th, has been delayed, raising concerns that the delay will allow for manipulation to occur which is in direct contradiction of the Attorney General’s stated mission of legality and transparency.
