Ernesto Javier Cordero Arroyo (born 9 May 1968) is a Mexican actuary,public servant,and politician affiliated with the National Action Party (PAN).
He served twice as a cabinet member during the Calderón administration:first as secretary of social development and then as secretary of finance and public credit until he resigned to participate in the PAN's 2012 internal elections for the presidency of Mexico,which he lost. [1] Cordero also served as president of the Mexican Senate. This role is traditionally rotated among the three largest parties in Congress for one-year terms,from September 2012 to August 2013 and again from September 2017 to August 2018.
Ernesto Cordero was born in Mexico City on 9 May 1968. He is the son of Ernesto Cordero Galindo,a renowned professor of medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM),and Graciela Arroyo,a nurse who directed the National School of Nursing and Obstetrics at UNAM for two terms. On 16 May 2006,Marta Sahagún inaugurated the Esplanade of Distinguished Nurses and unveiled a bust in her honor at the headquarters of the Secretariat of Health. He has a sister,Graciela Cordero Arroyo,a professor at UNAM and a doctor in education from the University of Barcelona.
He majored as an actuary at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico (ITAM). He also earned a master's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania,where he pursued doctoral studies.
After completing his postgraduate studies in 2001,Cordero became general director of the PAN's Miguel Estrada Iturbide Foundation,an institution responsible for providing technical advice on legislative projects to members of the National Action Party (PAN) parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies.
Cordero has been a professor of international economics at the University of Pennsylvania,economics and statistics at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico,and econometrics at the Center for Economic Research and Teaching and the Panamerican University.
In 2004,along with a small group of public officials,he resigned from his position as undersecretary of energy and technological development at the Secretariat of Energy (SENER) to support the then head of SENER,Felipe Calderón,in his presidential candidacy. During this campaign,Cordero served as public policy coordinator.
On 15 January 2008,President Felipe Calderón appointed him head of the Secretariat of Social Development,replacing Beatriz Zavala.
As secretary,he designed and implemented various social development policies,strengthening,modernizing,and making transparent programs with a significant impact on the living conditions of Mexicans.
During his administration,he provided timely attention to the 2008 financial crisis. He incorporated new support into social programs and ensured price stability in the country's most marginalized regions to counteract rising international food prices.
Cordero played a key role in responding to the 2009 swine flu pandemic by coordinating strategies to give attention to the public in conjunction with the Secretariat of Health.
From 2007 to 2009,1.3 million solid foundations were installed,benefiting nearly 4.8 million people.
In 2009,the coverage of the 70 and over program,which supports seniors,was expanded to include populations of up to 30,000 inhabitants,increasing the number of beneficiaries by almost 200,000.
On 9 December 2009,President Calderón appointed him head of the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit,replacing Agustín Carstens. He was the first secretary of finance and public credit from the PAN.
Cordero led the economic recovery,the consolidation of public finances,and the implementation of new policies with a social vision.
On 9 September 2011,he resigned from his position as secretary of finance and public credit to run for the presidential nomination of the PAN.
He has served as chair of the Committee of the Board of Governors of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB),co-chair of the United Nations Transition Committee for the Design of the Green Climate Fund,co-chair of the G20 Working Group for the Review of the international monetary system,and as a counselor on the Governing Board of the Green Climate Fund (appointed by the United Nations).
In Mexico,he has served as chair of the National Council for Social Policy,coordinator of the Social Cabinet,chair of the Financial System Stability Council,coordinator of the Economic Cabinet,and as a member of the Security Cabinet.
In 2011,he ran for the PAN presidential nomination against Santiago Creel and Josefina Vázquez Mota,which Vázquez Mota won on 5 February 2012.
In February 2012,the National Electoral Commission of the PAN announced Cordero as the first candidate on the party's national list for the Senate. Given the PAN's status as a major national party,this decision guaranteed Cordero's election as senator in 2012.
