Reprocha el Inegi recorte de 2,500 mdp; reclaman tijeretazo al presupuesto | Periódico Zócalo | Noticias de Saltillo, Torreón, Piedras Negras, Monclova, Acuña

The director of INEGI warns that significant budget cuts by the Ministry of Finance will force the institution to reprogram essential activities, scaling down regional surveys to a national level in order to maintain planned outputs. This fiscal pressure threatens the comprehensive scope of statistical production, despite assurances that data quality will not be compromised. This situation underscores the critical vulnerability of official statistical agencies to political and economic decisions, highlighting the need for stable, protected funding. Without adequate resources, the completeness and reliability of national data diminish, directly impacting the integrity of the information ecosystem. This case is highly relevant to open data, as it demonstrates how administrative constraints can limit data availability and coverage. When governments cut budgets, the resulting gaps in statistical information reduce the transparency and utility of open datasets, potentially hindering evidence-based decision-making and public accountability.
