**Baja California Sur Government Plans to Utilize Nearly 25 Billion Pesos in 2025**
As the new fiscal year approaches, the Government of Baja California Sur has unveiled its proposed budget for 2025. Bertha Montaño Cota, the head of the State’s Finance and Administration Department, presented the Economic Package to the XVII Legislative Branch of the local Congress. The proposed budget stands at a significant 24,960 million pesos, reflecting an increase of 1,800 million pesos over the previous year, attributed to inflation adjustments laid out by the federal government.
Montaño Cota emphasized that the proposal is complete and ready for review, with an expected approval timeline extending until mid-December. The proposal highlights key investments in education, which will receive a substantial 66% of the budget allocation. Other areas of focus include public health, security, infrastructure projects, and social development, all to ensure balanced regional growth.
The budget package considers three main elements: income proposals, expenses, and modified budget figures for 2024. The objective is to align revenues with expenditures to maintain a balanced financial status. Notably, the government does not plan on introducing new taxes or increasing existing ones in its fiscal strategy for 2025.
