Overview

• Delivering her Primer Informe at Palacio Nacional, the president cited official figures showing poverty fell from about 41.9% in 2018 to roughly 29–29.6% in 2024 and a lower Gini of 0.391, alongside expanded social transfers reaching tens of millions.
• She underscored a year of rapid lawmaking — 19 constitutional changes and around 40 new laws — culminating in the popular election of judges and the swearing‑in of a nine‑member Supreme Court, whose ministers attended the event.
• On security, Sheinbaum reported a 25% drop in intentional homicides over the past 11 months and declines in other crimes, citing sharp reductions in states such as Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Nuevo León and the State of Mexico.
• Economic highlights included estimated 2024 GDP growth of about 1.2%, foreign direct investment of roughly $36 billion in the first half of 2025, inflation near 3.5% in July and a 12% increase in the 2025 minimum wage.
• Journalists and activists disputed parts of the narrative, challenging the inequality ranking, investment figures and a 90% medicine‑availability claim, while a recent Hacienda report pointed to real cuts in program spending and public investment that could strain implementation.
