The Center for Public Finance Studies (CEFP) of the Chamber of Deputies revealed that four municipalities in Baja California have sustainable debt, all below one billion pesos.
In the CEFP's report for the second half of 2024, it details that Mexicali is the city with the highest public debt in the state, at 901.2 million pesos.
The second municipality with the highest public debt in the state is Ensenada, with 530.5 million pesos.
In third place is Tecate, a municipality with fewer than 250,000 inhabitants, with a debt of 176.3 million pesos.
In fourth place is Playas de Rosarito, with a public debt of 169.9 million pesos.
It is worth mentioning that before the first half of 2024, the Morena authorities of the 25th city council liquidated Tijuana's public debt (2.5 billion pesos), which in recent years kept it as the most indebted municipality in the country.
