SAT refuta a la OCDE: ingresos del gobierno federal representan 24.5% del PIB | Periódico Zócalo | Noticias de Saltillo, Torreón, Piedras Negras, Monclova, Acuña

The federal agency clarifies that the OECD’s tax revenue assessment excludes non-tax income from state entities like Pemex and CFE. By including these, Mexico’s total budgetary resources reach 24.5% of GDP, comparable to developed nations, proving the OECD indicator merely descriptive rather than indicative of adequacy. This distinction highlights that revenue sufficiency depends on specific national policy objectives rather than abstract international benchmarks. It emphasizes that proper fiscal management involves leveraging all available resources, including those from productive state companies, to meet public goals effectively. Relevance to open_data lies in the need for transparent, granular data classification. Openly detailing how diverse revenue streams are categorized allows for accurate cross-country comparisons and prevents misleading interpretations of fiscal health, ensuring data users understand the full context behind aggregate statistics.
