Mexico is at a crossroads where globalization, technology and nearshoring are redefining the labor market and growth expectations. In this scenario, the new government has the historic opportunity and responsibility to promote a public education policy that not only guarantees universal access, but also fosters equity, innovation and critical thinking and the strengthening of programs that link students with the real demands of the productive sector; in this, the business sector as a whole is willing to be an ally and provide the necessary support. Only in this way, with quality education, will Mexico be able to build a more just, competitive society prepared to lead in the 21st century. said José de Jesús Rodríguez Cárdenas during the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism of Mexico City.
With his unwavering determination and passion, the President of CANACO CDMX manages to consolidate his objectives; to create better opportunities and represent the legitimate interests of the business sector. Today, after a century and a half, this Chamber has not only fulfilled that mission, but has become a driving force of economic growth for the benefit of our nation. Through tireless efforts, we have fostered an environment where micro and small businesses can prosper, where job opportunities multiply.
Since the founding of the Chamber in 1874 until 2024, “we businessmen have walked with 38 presidents who have governed this country, each of them governing in very diverse political and economic contexts; going from the concentration of power, with Porfirio Diaz, the revolution with Francisco I. Madero, the expropriation of oil, the nationalization of banking, or the economic transformation of the country with the free trade agreement between the countries of the north, we transited through all of them, but above all we contributed. … and we understood that necessity creates capacity, an indisputable capacity that is part of the DNA of those who have formed and are part of our institution, the entrepreneurs who adapt, who develop, who grow in the face of adversity, who rediscover new paths and ways to sustain themselves in the face of the constant obstacles that arise before them, because they have within their virtues a great capacity for resilience in times of crisis” …
Without a doubt, Mexicans want the new administration to create a favorable environment for investment; to strengthen infrastructure, an area in which legal certainty, economic competition and energy supply are reliable and sufficient. These are some of the priorities of the Mexican economy, a work between government, businessmen and society that allows us to achieve the economic growth that the country requires.
