Mexico 2027 Economic Package proposes debt increase and stricter tax deductions
Mexico's 2027 Economic Package has been presented to Congress, outlining a fiscal strategy focused on increasing tax revenue without raising general ISR or IVA rates. The government projects GDP growth for 2027 to be between 1.5% and 2.5%.
To bolster revenue, the proposal includes measures to limit corporate deductions to a maximum of 96.67% of income and restricts the application of previous fiscal losses. Additionally, the limit for deducting net interest is proposed to decrease from 30% to 20%. Civil organizations have also called for an increase in the IEPS tax on alcoholic beverages to fund health programs.
However, analysts from the CIEP and México Evalúa have raised concerns regarding fiscal consolidation and rising debt. Public debt is projected to reach between 21.6 and 21.7 trillion pesos by 2027, which could represent 55% of the GDP. The package also seeks authorization for up to 13.5 billion dollars in external debt.
On the expenditure side, the budget maintains social welfare programs, with over 1 trillion pesos allocated to Bienestar initiatives. The package also includes significant subsidies for state-run enterprises, including 44.7 billion pesos for entities such as Tren Maya, Tren Interoceánico, Mexicana de Aviación, and Litio Mx.
