Fiscal Rule Committee issues alert: Government spends more than it receives and requests a $30 trillion cut

TL;DR

  • The government is spending more than its income, widening the fiscal gap.
  • In 2025, expenses are projected at 420 trillion pesos against revenues of 302 trillion pesos.
  • This imbalance is unsustainable and will increase national debt.
  • An adjustment of approximately 30 trillion pesos is needed this year to meet fiscal targets.
  • There is a risk of economic overheating due to high spending, limited revenue, and growing debt.
