Edgar Amador outlines the 2027 Economic Package to maintain Mexico's investment grade and fiscal stability.

The administration announced the 2027 Economic Package, which aims to preserve Mexico's investment grade and achieve macroeconomic stability. Edgar Amador, the head of public finances, stated that the government intends to reduce the fiscal deficit gradually while maintaining social program transfers, supporting Pemex and CFE, and increasing public investment in government projects. To increase government revenue without creating new taxes, the administration will launch an intense campaign to combat tax evasion and fiscal fraud. If the 2027 Budget project advances, companies will be required to pay Income Tax on at least 3.3% of their income starting next year. The private sector generally supports the economic roadmap proposed by the government of Claudia Sheinbaum. Business organizations, including Concanaco and the CCE, expressed support for the fiscal consolidation and the absence of new general taxes. However, business leaders requested greater fiscal discipline, spending efficiency, and legal certainty for private investment. The CCE noted that new limits on deductions for companies with revenues exceeding 50 million pesos could increase the effective tax burden for firms with narrow margins.
