Forward Look 2030: The Targets Mexico Will Use to Measure Its Progress

The fifth chapter of the report charts the route to 2030. Shared Prosperity, the guiding axis of the 2025-2030 National Development Plan, rests on four principles: substantive equality, economic inclusion, productive sustainability and institutional cohesion. According to the document, the second year showed progress on each: the Women's Wellbeing Pension, a minimum wage of 9,582 pesos, 32 thousand megawatts of new electrical capacity expected by 2030 and a 53% reduction in intentional homicides.
The report presents a dashboard with four of its five targets. On multidimensional poverty, the target is to fall below 20%, and the 2024 figure is 29.6%, the lowest in the 2016-2024 series. On public debt, the target is to keep it below 52% of GDP, and in June 2026 it stood at 51.0%, versus 52.6% in December 2025. On total investment, public and private, the target is 28% of GDP, and the national plan allocates more than 960 billion pesos to infrastructure in 2026. The fourth is Latin American leadership in technological innovation, with 245,111 new places in public higher education.
In science, the Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation allocated 1,676 million pesos to research projects in 2026, 111% more than in 2025, and coordinates 108 national laboratories and 48 thousand people in the National System of Researchers. Among its strategic projects are Olinia, a nationally designed electric vehicle, and Kutsari, focused on semiconductor design.
For the Latino community, an agenda of science, semiconductors and electric mobility can open spaces for collaboration among universities, companies and professionals on both sides of the border.
