Key points

• Key points:
• Oil-related income in the first quarter of 2024 was MXN 34,393 million (0.10% of GDP) below budget due to a lower volume of crude oil exports.
• In spite of public revenue being below budget, the performance of total public spending in the first quarter allowed the budget deficit to be approximately MXN 132,956 million below budget.
