Chetumal — Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa announced that the proposal for the 2026 Fiscal Package, amounting to $56,513.6 million pesos, has been submitted to the State Congress. It consists of $17,885.9 million in local revenue and $38,627.7 million from federal participations and contributions.
This represents a 9.8% increase compared to 2025, which was $51,473.8 million pesos.
The head of the executive branch explained that the purpose is to ensure responsible, transparent financial management oriented toward citizen well-being, based on the New Agreement for the Welfare and Development of Quintana Roo that places people at the center of decisions.
In the area of Social Development, $21,877.2 million pesos were allocated, with a 5.3% increase. Education received $13,023.4 million, with a 4.8% increase, among other items.
In Economic Development, agricultural, forestry, fishing, and hunting activities stand out with a 6.2% increase.
A category of citizen importance is Public Order and Internal Security Affairs, which saw an 8.7% increase, with $4,338.6 million pesos compared to $3,991.2 million in the 2025 exercise. Likewise, health, tourism, and public works are strengthened.
In infrastructure, an investment of $3,782.23 million pesos is planned, representing a 93.9% growth compared to the 2025 fiscal exercise.
Through the Secretariat of Finance and Planning (SEFIPLAN), the state government delivered this proposal based on the law for analysis, review, and eventual approval, in compliance with the provisions of the State Political Constitution.
SEFIPLAN specified that it reflects a balanced and consistent financial scheme with criteria of fiscal responsibility.
The 2026 Fiscal Package, mainly composed of the Revenue Law and the Expenditure Budget, consolidates financial planning for the next year with a humanist and social vision, prioritizing the poor first.
Therefore, Mara Lezama highlighted that its design prioritizes resources for well-being through actions aimed at vulnerable populations, strengthening citizen security, improving education for girls, boys, and youth, as well as modernizing health services, drinking water, urban infrastructure, mobility, and strategic sectors that promote orderly and sustainable growth.
Likewise, the project includes fiscal reforms aimed at strengthening the State Public Treasury, ensuring responsible, sustainable finances aligned with principles of efficiency, transparency, and good use of public resources, strengthening actions to close inequality gaps and expand opportunities for shared prosperity to reach all Quintana Roo residents.
As in previous exercises, the State Government will exercise public spending with honesty, transparency, rationality, and financial discipline, strengthening state finances, improving credit ratings, and promoting productive public investment for the benefit of people.
