Introduction to the National Financial Education Strategy 2025-2030
In the first half of 2025, the Federal Government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, initiated the process to design the National Financial Education Strategy 2025-2030 and the National Inclusion Finance Policy 2025-2030.
According to the first report of Sheinbaum’s government, the primary objective is to foster greater financial inclusion among beneficiaries of social programs and promote financial well-being in the general population.
Two Fundamental Principles
- Promote informed and responsible use of financial products and services: The action lines will focus on equipping the population, including recipients of social programs, to make more accurate financial decisions.
- Incorporate gender perspective and diversity in a transversal manner: The plan aims to close structural gaps so that women and other historically excluded groups can access the benefits of the financial system equitably. This will be done under an inclusive, intersectional, and culturally relevant approach that recognizes Mexico’s ethnic, linguistic, and territorial diversity.
The Big Challenge: Financial Inclusion of Women
To drive this objective, the Secretariat of Finance, through Development Banking, has provided $30,453 million in financing to 787,521 women, representing 54% of the total beneficiaries. This support has enabled a credit balance of $83,341 million.
Furthermore, 206,939 women were trained in business management, operational efficiency, corporate governance, and financial education, constituting 54% of the total population trained between January 1 and June 30, 2025.
