In the first six months of 2026, Mexico's Federal Public Administration recovered 1,330.7 million pesos through internal control actions. ^[1] The Mexican Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Secretariat published an agreement in the Official Journal of the Federation to strengthen the use of national steel in public works. ^[2] According to the Second Government Report by Claudia Sheinbaum, the Internal Control Organs (OIC) coordinated by the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat conducted 650 audits in the first half of 2026 at a cost of 560 million pesos. ^[3] Combining the 2025 projection of 2,249 million pesos with the first half of 2026 recovery of 1,330.7 million pesos results in a total of 3,579.7 million pesos, a 34.5% increase over the comparable period under López Obrador. ^[4] The 1,330.7 million pesos recovered in the first half of 2026 surpasses the 992.5 million pesos reported in 2024, the final year of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's mandate. ^[5] The new rules allow the value of national steel incorporated into infrastructure to be counted, expanding possibilities for public spending to boost the Mexican steel industry. ^[6] The percentage of national steel will be established for each project based on production availability in Mexico, required quality, delivery deadlines, and specific project characteristics. ^[7] The reform represents an important advance in implementing the Agreement to Foster the Mexican Steel Industry, signed on April 29 by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. ^[8]
