PAN deputy Ricardo Rubio presented an agreement to urge the Secretariat of Economic Development and the Social Development Fund to strengthen financing and digitalization for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in Mexico City. [^1]

Mexico City saw a net reduction of over 62,000 formal jobs in the first quarter of 2026, with the most critical impact occurring in April when 330 companies were lost in a 30-day period. [^2]

Official data from IMSS and reports from Coparmex Ciudad de México showed a net decrease of 916 formal employer registrations in Mexico City between January and April 2026. [^3]

Ricardo Rubio warned that current subsistence microcredit programs of 5,000 to 10,000 pesos are insufficient given the macroeconomic context where the national GDP projects moderate growth near 1.2%. [^4]

The author adopted the principle 'leaving no one behind' as a leadership motto for their presidency at Coparmex Ciudad de México, inspired by the parable and childhood lessons. [^5]

The author argues that generosity during scarcity is not just a moral option but a duty that prevents social and economic collapse. [^6]

The biblical parable in Genesis 47 describes a critical famine in Egypt where the population turned to Joseph, the administrator of grain reserves, for food. [^7]

When Egyptian resources were exhausted, Joseph accepted their animals as payment but later decided to give seeds to the people so they could cultivate again. [^8]
