Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has initiated a public critique and review of high-value pension schemes. The administration first drew attention to the pensions of former Banco de México (Banxico) officials, noting that former President Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León and former Governor Guillermo Ortiz Martínez receive significant annual and monthly payments despite relatively short tenures at the central bank.

Following these disclosures, Sheinbaum expanded the scope of her scrutiny to include the pension systems of state public universities, citing irregularities such as double pensions and costs that average 40 percent of institutional payrolls. While acknowledging Banxico’s autonomy, the President has called for a review of the lifetime pensions granted to former high-ranking officials for “moral and fiscal reasons.”
