CDMX Posts Higher‑Than‑Expected H1 Revenues and Sharp Rise in Public Investment

Stronger local tax collections with large early predial payments freed resources for record public investment and reduced the city's debt.

Overview

  • City officials reported total first‑half 2026 revenues of MXN 183,653 million, about 9.5–12 percent above the programmed target and driven by higher predial and payroll tax receipts.
  • The administration said it executed more than MXN 17 billion in public investment in H1, a 156 percent increase versus 2025, with funds directed to mobility, water and drainage, schools and public space projects.
  • The Programa de Regularización con Beneficios Fiscales was extended through September after benefiting roughly 186,000 taxpayers and raising about MXN 1,080.6 million between January and June.
  • Officials reported a decline in the city’s public debt to roughly MXN 104,158.4 million, noting amortizations and no new debt placements under the 2026 borrowing ceiling.
  • Monday's finance report also outlined a public‑private coinvestment to rehabilitate Metro Line 3 that keeps the system publicly owned, maintains current fares, and aims to select a coinvestor by September.
