Sheinbaum administration policy developments in Mexico

Overview

During the first two years of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration, Mexico reported significant developments in both public security and cultural investment.

In terms of national security, the administration reported a 53% decrease in intentional homicides. The daily average of homicides dropped from 86.9 in September 2024 to 40.8 in August 2026, reaching the lowest levels since 2015. This trend is attributed to a National Security Strategy focused on intelligence, investigation, and addressing the root causes of violence. Law enforcement efforts included over 67,200 arrests for high-impact crimes and the seizure of more than 34,000 firearms.

Simultaneously, the Ministry of Culture reported a 32% increase in cultural offerings. The government directed 1.85 billion pesos toward renovating artistic education institutions and eliminated enrollment fees for arts education. Support for artistic creation also increased by 45%, with new fiscal incentives and laws implemented to bolster the film and audiovisual sectors.
