Veracruz faces potential reduction in federal funding

Veracruz faces a potential reduction in federal funding following warnings from Fitch Ratings. According to the agency, the state is projected to see a 2.4 percent decrease in federal participations due to new population data from the 2025 Intercensal Survey (EIC 2025). This adjustment occurs as the Ministry of Finance incorporates updated demographic information into its estimates. Other states expected to see decreases include Guerrero (5.2 percent), Tlaxcala (3.9 percent), Chiapas (1.9 percent), Chihuahua (1.8 percent), and Oaxaca (1.5 percent).
