In Edomex, Atizapán de Zaragoza strengthens its finances and raises its credit rating to AA(mex) / @Pedro_RVillegas @GobAtizapan

(#PublicFinance – #EfficientGovernment) * #AtizapánDeZaragoza, #StateOfMexico.- The mayor of #Atizapán de Zaragoza, #PedroRodríguezVillegas, is strengthening the municipality’s financial position following recognition from #FitchRatings, which upgraded its credit rating from AA-(mex) to AA(mex), with a Stable Outlook. This improvement reflects the strength of #PublicFinance, fiscal discipline in budget management, and the administration’s ability to meet its financial obligations. This achievement places Atizapán in a favorable position within the municipal financial landscape.

The rating upgrade, announced on October 7, is the result of sustained growth in operating balances, a strong liquidity position, and an increased capacity to cover debt service. These factors support the financial stability of Atizapán de Zaragoza and place it in the same credit rating category as municipalities such as Huixquilucan, San Luis Potosí, and Altamira.

Among the most significant indicators is the 7.6% real growth in municipal revenues during 2025, driven by revenue collection strategies and incentives linked to property tax payments. In addition, the municipality recorded an average operating margin of 17% over the past five years, exceeding the 12% median reported among the municipalities assessed by Fitch Ratings. These figures reflect favorable operating performance and an enhanced capacity to maintain budgetary balance.

Regarding indebtedness, Atizapán de Zaragoza maintained a sustainable classification, according to the data reported for the end of 2025 and the first half of 2026. Furthermore, the municipal administration does not plan to take on any new short- or long-term financing. In the area of public finance, controlling financial obligations and strengthening own-source revenues are essential to preserving the economic stability of local governments and promoting responsible budget management.

For Pedro Rodríguez Villegas, the credit rating upgrade serves as an endorsement of the strategy to strengthen revenue collection, optimize spending, and maintain sound public finances. The challenge will be to consolidate these results through responsible decision-making and continued efficient management of resources, as demonstrated to date. Through these efforts, Atizapán de Zaragoza seeks to preserve its financial stability.
