Mexico's Chamber of Deputies approved the 2027 Federal Expenditure Budget in general terms on November 9, 2026, with total net spending of 10 trillion 636 billion 488.1 million pesos and a vote of 372 in favor and 102 against, according to Aristegui Noticias.

The amount represents an increase of 442 billion 804.4 million pesos, 1.3 percent in real terms compared with the 2026 budget, according to the same floor count. The decree drew support from Morena, its allies and Movimiento Ciudadano, while PAN and PRI voted against. Movimiento Ciudadano backed the bill after an agreement to address the water crisis in Jalisco, with 6 billion 500 million pesos for two aqueducts in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, according to Expansión. For families in Mexico and for nationals in the United States and Canada, the PEF defines how much public spending there will be next year in health, education, security and transfers.

The decree projects a budget deficit of 1 trillion 358 billion 558 million pesos. Of total spending, 69.9 percent is programmable, at 7 trillion 432 billion 529.7 million, and 30.1 percent is non-programmable outlays. In sectoral allocations, education receives 1 trillion 256 billion 948.4 million pesos, a real increase of 8 percent; public order and domestic security receive 75 billion 671.1 million, 17.7 percent more in real terms; and federalized spending for states and municipalities totals 3 trillion 48 billion 223.2 million, 4.6 percent more. The bill cuts 6 billion pesos from the National Electoral Institute and reassigns them to school infrastructure, the environment and early childhood.

After the general approval, the Mesa Directiva declared a recess and called the session to resume on Tuesday, November 10 at 9:00 a.m. for the discussion in particular, with at least one thousand reservations expected. The legal deadline to approve the budget expires on November 15.
