In a striking development, Mexico's fiscal balance took a dramatic turn in May, plummeting to a staggering negative $117.90 billion. This comes after the country recorded a positive fiscal balance of $0.29 billion just a month prior in April 2025. The data, which was last updated on June 30, 2025, highlights a significant fiscal shift within a very short period.
The change from a modest positive balance to a substantial deficit of over $118 billion in May brings into question the economic policies and unforeseen expenditures or revenue shortfalls that occurred during this period. This drastic fiscal swing will likely stir conversations among policymakers, economists, and international stakeholders about Mexico's fiscal management and potential strategies to address the negative balance.
As further details emerge, investors and citizens alike will be keen to understand the underlying factors contributing to this fiscal anomaly and the government’s response to stabilize the financial situation.
