Mexico 2027 budget receives mixed outlook from Fitch Ratings
Mexico’s 2027 economic package has received a mixed assessment from Fitch Ratings. While the agency considers the budget more credible due to realistic macroeconomic assumptions—projecting GDP growth between 1.5% and 2.5%—it warns that the planned reduction of the fiscal deficit to 3.9% of GDP is modest. Fitch notes that the strategy relies on increasing revenue through stricter tax enforcement and combating evasion rather than spending cuts, a method it suggests may have reached its practical limit.
In Puebla, the state government confirmed an increase of 11.3 billion pesos in federal programmable spending for 2027. These funds are earmarked for health, education, the ISSSTE hospital, and the sanitation of the Atoyac River. Additionally, the state is preparing for the Tianguis Turístico 2027, an event expected to generate significant economic impact.
Other regional developments include Querétaro analyzing a plan to settle its state debt by March 2027 and Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, seeking funds to upgrade municipal security equipment. Nationally, the federal government is projecting 475.9 billion pesos for the National Care System in 2027.
