Overview
- At Canaco's 151st‑anniversary summit, leaders stressed that formal small and medium-sized enterprises generate 52% of GDP and two thirds of formal jobs in Mexico.
- Canaco reported that roughly three in ten storefronts in Mexico City's Centro Histórico are now run by Chinese merchants, a claim it says is displacing Mexican businesses.
- The chamber alleged that e‑commerce platforms such as Temu have set up warehouses in Mexico to evade customs controls and said no concrete government measures have been announced to counter this.
- Business groups proposed a simplified tax regime that rewards formality, an integrated security policy to protect people and supply chains, and a zero‑tolerance strategy against the illicit economy using financial intelligence.
- Concanaco's Octavio de la Torre backed the Plan Michoacán for peace and justice and pressed for safety guarantees, while Canaco called on the federal Economy Ministry to act immediately in coordination with the private sector.
