On 5 June 2019 the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) issued a press release announcing that it had rejected Wal-Mart International Holdings, Inc's (Walmart's) proposal to acquire Delivery Technologies, S de RL de CV (Cornershop). According to the press release, the COFECE rejected the acquisition in light of the potential risks that it posed to competition and free market access.

Following the 2013 constitutional energy amendment, the Mexican energy market became a competitive market that allowed private in vestment. In addition, the Hydrocarbon Law, which was issued in January 2015, allows third parties which are unrelated to the state-owned enterprise Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) to sell gasoline and diesel. In light of these developments, in 2016 the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) issued a series of recommendations aimed at fostering competition in the gasoline and diesel markets.
