The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) reported that it has the Budget Income Stabilization Fund (FEIP) with 107 thousand 800 million pesos ready to be used if there is a drop in income from an economic disruption.
“These 107 thousand 800 million pesos (from the Budget Income Stabilization Fund) reach to compensate for a GDP drop up to a percentage point,” said Rodrigo Mariscal Paredes, head of the SHCP Economic Planning Unit.

At the end of June 2025, the Budget Income Stabilization Fund has a balance of 107 thousand 800 billion pesos, the Federal Entities Income Stabilization Fund (FEIEF) has 12,300 million pesos and the Mexican Petroleum Fund 23 thousand 700 million pesos.
The Budget Income Stabilization Fund is used to compensate not budgeted or non -programmed falls of income “in case there were any disruption, in particular if there was a drop in economic activity,” said the economist
Today the income indicators do not suggest that there is a possibility of lack of resources, because we are going above the program, said the official.
The potential growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is between 0 percent and 0.5 with what was observed today and if this data is confirmed when the definitive GDP comes out next month: “The growth of the Mexican economy is 0.8 percent.”
“To reach 0.2 percent, which is what the consensus of economic analysts brings, GDP in the second half of the year would fall more or less 0.8 percent,” said Rodrigo Mariscal Paredes.
It would be assumed that there will be a contraction of GDP, the level would have to be up to 1.2, that is, it seems difficult that a scenario can be observed where the Mexican economy is contracted this year or that it grows what the analyst consensus brings right now, concluded the SHCP official.
