Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Port Administration (APIQROO) left 254,342,617 pesos unspent in the first half of 2026, according to its analytical statement of budget expenditures covering January 1 to June 30.

The agency’s original approved budget was 290,881,214 pesos. Budget increases totaling 68,877,057 pesos raised the modified budget to 359,758,271 pesos.

As of June 30, APIQROO had accrued 105,415,653.93 pesos in spending, while actual payments totaled 93,035,373.36 pesos. The gap between the modified budget and accrued spending accounts for the reported underspend.

Operating Costs Account for Most of the Gap

Current spending absorbed the largest share of the agency’s resources. That category carried a modified budget of 289,877,533.14 pesos, of which 96,696,928.88 pesos had been accrued. The underspend there reached 193,180,604.26 pesos.

Capital spending was set at 69,880,737.86 pesos after the increases. By the end of June, accrued spending stood at 8,718,725.05 pesos, with payments of 3,950,157.47 pesos, leaving an underspend of 61,162,012.81 pesos in that category.

The report lists no resources for debt amortization, reductions in liabilities, pensions and retirement payments, or revenue-sharing transfers.

It also notes that the figures include carryover funds authorized by the Quintana Roo Finance and Planning Department (Sefiplan).

The numbers cover only the first half of the year and reflect the state of the budget as of June 30, 2026. They do not necessarily represent the port administration’s final annual spending totals.
