The report highlights concerns over low income levels and high public spending, which could lead to unsustainable government finances.

This imbalance has resulted in a public budget deficit of 559 billion pesos in the first half of 2026, a 36% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

Additionally, despite official claims of no public debt, the government reported a public sector debt of 19 billion pesos by the second quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 1.3 billion pesos from the previous year.
