Mexico presents 2027 Economic Package focused on fiscal stability
The Mexican government has presented its 2027 Economic Package to Congress, focusing on fiscal consolidation and combating tax evasion without introducing new taxes. The package includes the Revenue Law, the Expenditure Budget, and the Fiscal Miscellaneous law. Key projections include a reduction of the public deficit to 3.9% of GDP and an estimated oil price of 61.8 USD per barrel.
Significant financial obligations are noted, with pension spending projected to reach 2.5 trillion pesos (6.3% of GDP) and total debt and pension payments estimated at 4.05 trillion pesos. The package also proposes 1.7 trillion pesos in new debt. To increase revenue, the government intends to strengthen oversight on fuel taxes (IEPS) and implement a new Digital Economy Law to encourage electronic transactions over cash.
The private sector, including the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial (CCE) and Canacintra, has expressed a mix of recognition for macroeconomic stability and concern regarding specific measures. Business groups have requested clarity on energy and water access, as well as caution regarding new limits on tax deductions for companies with high revenues. There are also concerns regarding the impact of reduced investment in state-owned enterprises and the potential for increased fiscal pressure on formal businesses.
