Mexico | Public underspending favors balance in 1Q26

The Historical Balance of Public Sector Borrowing Requirements (HBPSBR) was 52.7% of GDP at the end of 2025 vs. 50.4% in March 2026. We expect the HBPSBR to be around 53.7% by year-end.

Key points

  • Key points:
  • The HBPSBR was lower than in 2025 because the domestic and foreign components of debt showed a decrease of 1.8 and 0.5 percentage points of GDP, respectively.
  • Oil revenues contributed to total revenue being lower by MXN 79,509 million than the program's target for 1Q26.
