Overview

Tamaulipas kept its AAA sovereign rating and the lowest per‑capita public debt among northern border states, with Moody’s, Fitch and HR Ratings reaffirming the rating through mid‑2026. Tax collection improved and the state attracted US$222 million of Q1‑2026 FDI, highlighted by a 300‑million‑peso OXXO expansion. Crime indicators kept falling, with reductions in homicide, extortion, kidnapping and vehicle theft; vehicle‑theft reports hit a 2015 low in May 2026. The State Guard and federal forces reported a marked decline in high‑impact crimes and a faster response to violent incidents along the Matamoros‑Nuevo Laredo corridor. Auditoría Superior adjusted its 2026 municipal audit program, focusing on pending financial audits for nine large municipalities while overall observations on public accounts fell, signalling better fiscal discipline. A separate audit uncovered 11 billion pesos of unresolved balances in water operators, prompting a recovery effort for 50‑60 million pesos. The health secretariat pledged full legislative transparency and, after a cabinet reshuffle, appointed Ricardo Gerardo Guerrero Morales, who launched anti‑corruption reforms in procurement and announced a second human‑botfly case. Tourism was boosted by security upgrades, the inaugural Barbacha Fest in El Mante and a partnership with Spain to attract investment in agro‑industry, technology and logistics. The state’s integrated water‑management plan, backed by over 4.2 billion pesos of federal funds, kept major reservoirs above 60 % capacity and modernised the nation’s largest technified irrigation area. Education security was reinforced with expanded uniform coverage to 32 municipalities (632 000 students), new cameras, volunteer parent committees and a rural‑student field‑trip program. Teachers received a retroactive salary increase and the long‑standing pension‑fund debt is near full repayment. The legislature approved an LGBT+ rights law, while gender‑based violence remains a concern, with femicide cases rising to 24 in 2025 and four in early 2026.
