The federal agency clarifies that the OECD’s assessment of tax revenue excludes non-tax income from state entities such as Pemex and CFE. When these are included, Mexico’s total budgetary resources reach 24.5% of GDP, a level comparable to that of developed countries, demonstrating that the OECD indicator is merely descriptive rather than indicative of adequacy. This distinction underscores that revenue sufficiency depends on specific national policy objectives rather than abstract international benchmarks. It emphasizes that effective fiscal management involves leveraging all available resources, including those generated by state-owned productive enterprises, to achieve public goals efficiently. The relevance to open data lies in the need for transparent, granular data classification. Openly detailing how diverse revenue streams are categorized enables accurate cross-country comparisons and prevents misleading interpretations of fiscal health, ensuring that data users understand the full context underlying aggregate statistics.
