# Guanajuato fiscal and healthcare funding challenges > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/guanajuato-fiscal-and-healthcare-funding-challenges > Updated: 2026-09-29T20:50:00.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Guanajuato is experiencing significant fiscal challenges related to federal funding and revenue shortfalls. In mid-September, federal deputy Diego Barroso reported that the 2027 federal budget lacks allocations for new IMSS or ISSSTE hospitals in the state, despite land being donated by the municipalities of Irapuato and Salamanca for these projects. By late September, financial pressures intensified as the state’s 46 municipalities faced budget adjustments due to a decline in federal revenue collection. A national shortfall in participable federal revenue has resulted in a real deficit of 372 million pesos in Guanajuato compared to projected transfers. To address this, local governments may be required to return funds to the Federation, and the local Congress has capped inflationary adjustments for municipal income laws at 3.5% for 2027. Officials have advised local administrations to increase revenue through property and water taxes. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-29: Guanajuato municipalities face budget cuts amid revenue decline Guanajuato municipalities face budget cuts in October due to falling federal revenue, while Governor Libia Dennise highlights over 405 million pesos in local infrastructure and social investments. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guanajuato-municipalities-face-budget-cuts-amid-revenue-decline ### 2026-09-17: Guanajuato lacks federal funds for new hospitals in 2027 budget Federal deputy Diego Barroso announced that the 2027 federal budget lacks funding for new IMSS or ISSSTE hospitals in Guanajuato, despite land donations in Irapuato and Salamanca. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guanajuato-lacks-federal-funds-for-new-hospitals-in-2027-budget --- Cite as: Guanajuato fiscal and healthcare funding challenges.
