Retirement Savings Post Gains in June, Consar Reports
Mexico's pension regulator recorded 7.659 billion pesos in gains across individual retirement accounts in June, following a volatile first quarter — figures that serve as the official benchmark for more than 70 million workers, including those in Quintana Roo.
Mexico's National Commission for the Retirement Savings System (Consar) reported that Afores — the private companies that manage workers' mandatory retirement savings — closed June 2026 with gains, known in Spanish as "plusvalías," of 7.659 billion pesos across the individual accounts that make up the Retirement Savings System (SAR). More than 70 million workers hold accounts in the system, spread across ten authorized Afores nationwide.
June's result continues a recent positive streak: individual accounts posted gains of 239.481 billion pesos in May and 347.525 billion pesos in April, after March closed with losses, or "minusvalías," of nearly 417 billion pesos, according to Consar's reports. With these figures, the accumulated total for the first half of 2026 stands at 484.070 billion pesos, while the trailing twelve months show cumulative gains of 1.1 trillion pesos.
Gains and losses reflect the market value of the investments each Afore makes with workers' savings — mainly in government debt instruments, equities and other financial assets — so the monthly figures shift along with domestic and international market conditions. Consar has noted that these are long-term retirement savings intended for eventual retirement, meaning short-term fluctuations do not represent a final loss or gain for a worker unless they withdraw their funds.
What it means for Cancún
In Quintana Roo, where a significant share of the workforce — tied to the tourism and services sectors — contributes to IMSS or ISSSTE and holds an assigned Afore account, these periodic Consar reports serve as the official reference for tracking the performance of mandatory retirement savings for thousands of local families.
How to check your account
Workers can review their account balance and returns through the AforeMóvil app, the e-SAR online portal (www.e-sar.com.mx), or the SARTEL phone line at 55 1328 5000 — channels Consar makes available to the public to resolve questions about their Afore, verify transfers, or request an account statement.
