Overview

• Ricardo Monreal confirmed the Chamber of Deputies will formally receive the Paquete Económico 2026 from the Finance Ministry on Monday and that it comprises Criterios Generales, Ley de Ingresos, Presupuesto de Egresos and the Miscelánea Fiscal.
• Once received, the package will be sent to committees for analysis under constitutional timelines, with the Ley de Ingresos due by October 31 before full congressional votes.
• Monreal said neither the Executive nor lawmakers have proposed a fiscal reform and he rejected previewing tax hikes on items such as sugary drinks or tobacco, while highlighting planned emphasis on education, health, road works, transport and public security.
• Morena’s Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar said the plan aims to close major tax-evasion gaps, tighten customs rules and curb fake invoicing through legal adjustments, pledging no new taxes or higher rates and targeting roughly one trillion pesos for social programs with deficit reduction.
• Analysts expect continued fiscal consolidation next year with constrained spending given pension costs and Pemex support, pointing to Pre-Criterios that project RFSP near 3.2%–2.5% of GDP in 2026 and noting likely efficiency measures such as a Miscelánea Fiscal and a customs reform, with recent comments also suggesting potential changes to sugary‑drink taxes.
