Mexico's public revenue drops 28.4% in September

Mexico's public revenue fell by 28.4% year-on-year in September, according to El Norte and Reforma.com. The decline was driven by an 80.9% drop in oil revenues, a 1.9% decrease in income tax (ISR) revenues, and a 21.1% fall in the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) revenues. This significant reduction in revenue could impact public spending and investment in various sectors.

Impact Public sector budgets may face constraints due to the sharp decline in revenue.
