Puebla Unveils 131.4 Billion-Peso 2026 Budget With No New Taxes

The plan heads to the state Congress on Nov. 15 for review under a Dec. 31 approval deadline.

Overview

  • The package totals 131,365 million pesos, slightly above the roughly 130,000 million from the federal draft, which raises Puebla’s transfers mainly via Ramo 28 (~64,141 million) and Ramo 33 (~48,516.8 million).
  • State officials said the proposal introduces no new taxes and does not contemplate additional borrowing, citing a sustainable balance following recent refinancing.
  • Spending will emphasize education, public security and community works, with the 2025 infrastructure model maintained.
  • Governor Alejandro Armenta highlighted plans to pave 5,000 streets using machinery modules and aggregates donated by Pemex through late 2025 and the first half of 2026.
  • If approved before Dec. 31, the budget will be published in the state gazette and take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
