Secretariat of Finance of Mexico City The Secretariat of Finance of Mexico City administers fiscal policy, public expenditure, and revenue collection for Mexico City, coordinating with federal and local entities to manage budgets and financial controls. It interacts with entities such as the Government of Mexico City, Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Mexico), Congress of the Union, Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, and various public banks and development agencies to implement fiscal measures and regulatory frameworks. The Secretariat engages with international organizations and financial markets including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Inter-American Development Bank, Latin American Development Bank, and municipal networks to secure financing and technical assistance.
The Secretariat traces origins to financial offices in the Federal District (Mexico) era and institutional reforms during the administration of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and subsequent mayors, aligning with constitutional reforms enacted by the Congress of the Union and judgments of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. During the administrations of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Marcelo Ebrard, and Claudia Sheinbaum, the Secretariat adapted to decentralization policies influenced by precedents from states like Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Puebla and by fiscal reforms such as the 2013 Mexican fiscal reform and modifications to the Federal Tax Code (Mexico). Its evolution involved coordination with institutions like the Bank of Mexico, National Institute of Statistics and Geography, Federal Electricity Commission, and municipal finance bodies responding to crises similar to the 1994 Mexican peso crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis.
The Secretariat comprises directorates and units analogous to those in the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Mexico), including departments for budgeting, treasury, taxation, public debt, and auditing, and works with bodies such as the Congress of Mexico City and the Tribunal Electoral de la Ciudad de México. Leadership appointments have been comparable to postings held by officials linked to administrations of Miguel Ángel Mancera, Rafael Carvajal, and advisors with experience at the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank. It coordinates with state-level counterparts in State of Mexico, Veracruz, Chiapas, and Baja California and with financial institutions including BBVA Bancomer, Citibanamex, and the National Banking and Securities Commission.
Primary responsibilities include formulating the annual budget submitted to the Congress of Mexico City, managing public expenditure in sectors such as health institutions like the Instituto de Salud para el Bienestar and education entities related to the Secretariat of Public Education (Mexico), overseeing municipal debt instruments within frameworks influenced by the Federal Law of Fiscal Coordination, and administering local tax policies under rules akin to the Law of Fiscal Coordination between the Federation and the Federal Entities. The Secretariat administers payroll for public servants, supervises procurement interacting with the Auditoría Superior de la Federación, and implements financial oversight consistent with standards from the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions and guidance from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Budget proposals are prepared using methodologies paralleling the Federal Expenditure Budget, integrating macroeconomic indicators from the Bank of Mexico and demographic data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography to project revenues and expenditures across sectors such as urban transport networks including Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (Metro) and social programs modeled after initiatives in Mexico City administrative boroughs like Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City and Iztapalapa. Fiscal policy instruments have referenced precedents from federal fiscal packages like the 2019 Mexican federal budget and municipal fiscal frameworks in Monterrey and Guadalajara to manage debt levels and capital investments.
Revenue streams include local taxes such as property tax models influenced by the Federal Property Tax frameworks, vehicle-related fees similar to regulations overseen by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (Mexico), business licensing and permits parallel to municipal codes in Zapopan and Tijuana, transfers from federal programs like the Ramo 28 and Ramo 33 allocations, and revenues from public enterprises comparable to income from entities like the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (Metro) concessions. The Secretariat administers collection systems integrating technologies used by institutions such as the Servicio de Administración Tributaria and collaborates with financial intermediaries including Banorte and Santander México for bond issuances and liquidity management.
Oversight mechanisms involve audits by the Auditoría Superior de la Ciudad de México and coordination with the Auditoría Superior de la Federación, compliance with access-to-information standards under the Federal Institute for Access to Information and Data Protection, and reporting aligned with international standards from the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Anti-corruption measures reflect legislation such as the National Anti-Corruption System and involve cooperation with the Attorney General of Mexico and local anti-corruption bodies, and public procurement transparency is monitored in ways similar to the Public Procurement Law (Mexico).
Major initiatives have included fiscal modernization programs inspired by reforms in Ciudad Juárez and Querétaro, affordable housing financing linked to agencies like the INFONAVIT model, urban infrastructure financing for projects resembling the Cablebús and Metrobus expansions, climate finance strategies coordinated with the United Nations Environment Programme and the Green Climate Fund, and social programs targeting boroughs such as Magdalena Contreras and Gustavo A. Madero with budget allocations comparable to federal social development schemes like those managed by the Social Development Secretariat (Mexico).
