Seven autonomous agencies at risk of being eliminated through a constitutional reform are still considered in the 2025 Economic Package of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP). They will receive a combined budget of 4,422 million pesos, which implies an annual cut of 16.46% compared to the 2024 budget. This amount represents only 0.048% of the total estimated net expenditure for 2025.
In detail, the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) will be the autonomous agency with the largest allocation of resources for the next year, with 1,680 million pesos, which represents a decrease of 4.12% in real terms. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) will see its budget reduced to 993.9 million pesos, a decrease of 13.15% compared to the previous year.
The Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) will receive 687.8 million pesos, a decrease of 4.12% compared to 2024. The National Commission for Continuous Improvement of Education (Mejoradu) will have 399.4 million pesos, representing a drop of 42.47% compared to the previous year. On the other hand, the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (Coneval) will see its budget reduced to 287.8 million pesos, a decrease of 32.89% in real terms.
Regarding the energy-related coordinated agencies, the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) will receive 199.8 million pesos, and the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) will obtain 173.2 million pesos, which represents an annual budget reduction of 32.89% in both cases.
Once the decree for the extinction of the autonomous agencies is published in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF), the Congress of the Union will have 90 calendar days to make the necessary adjustments to the laws. According to the proposal, the functions of these agencies will be transferred to various dependencies of the Government of Mexico, such as the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), and the Ministry of Public Function.
