Mexico recorded tax revenue equal to 18.3% of GDP in 2024, according to the 2026 Tax Statistics Report for Latin America and the Caribbean.[^1] The report was jointly prepared by the OECD, ECLAC, CIAT and IDB.

Separate health data published the same day places Mexico's diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccination coverage at 70%. This compares to 86% across Latin America and the Caribbean, and 93% for OECD member states.[^2]

Mexico also reports 149 hospital admissions for diabetes per 100,000 inhabitants. That rate exceeds both the Latin American and Caribbean average of 44 and the OECD average of 93.[^3]

In 1990, officials approved a new formula for Mexico's fiscal federalism participations at a national tax meeting held in Huatulco, Oaxaca.[^4]
