At the intersection of interests and responsibilities between the Government and the productive sector, the Business Coordinating Council is consolidated as a bridge between actors previously seen as adversaries and now essentially convergent: Mexico will only take advantage of its opportunity if it walks aligned.
The last session of 2025 of the National Council of the CCE confirms this cultural shift and exhibits a structural change in the way the economic and political elites process the future, with leadership representative of a strategic transition, that of Francisco Cervantes, outgoing president of the CCE, and that of José Medina Mora, who will take over.
Its relevance is not in the biographies, but in the institutional continuity in the most important representative body of the country’s private sector – it brings together 14 leading organizations, more than 2 thousand associations and close to 80 percent of the national GDP – which allows it to maintain a stable voice.
The CCE was born in 1976 under conditions of economic uncertainty, political tensions, complicated institutional adjustment after the devaluation of the peso and the presidential transition from Luis Echeverría to José López Portillo. It was an anchoring device in the midst of confusion. Almost 50 years later, it not only promotes certainty in the markets, it is integrated into the equation of national development from a logic of co-responsibility.
Its seven associates —Concamin, Concanaco, Coparmex, AMIS, CMN, CNA and ABM—, along with five permanent guests —Canaco, Canacintra, AMIB, Comce and Antad— and two special affiliates —Caintra and Aamafore—represent not only economic power, but sectoral diversity.
What is significant in 2025 is that it found a favorable political ecosystem. President Claudia Sheinbaum has promoted a style of Government where technique and information have weight equivalent to political calculation.
His recent meeting at the National Palace with Carlos Slim and Francisco Cervantes revealed coincidences on core issues: “Good forecasts for the end of 2025 and for 2026.” The head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, follows the same logic of a model where urban governance, investment and social policy are intertwined instead of competing.
Cervantes leaves an architecture of certainty built on constant dialogue, shared information and an explicit commitment to maintaining the business spirit in a territory of collaboration. It was not about avoiding differences—impossible to eliminate—but rather about preventing this dissent from turning into paralysis.
Medina Mora in his public vision reiterates that “the CCE is neither the ruling party nor the opposition: it is an institution.” That phrase is the affirmation that business representation is no longer thought of as a counterweight in confrontation, but rather as a gear in cooperation.
The plan is Mexico.
