In this paper, annual indices of social programs in Mexico from 2012-2018 are constructed using multivariate statistics, to identify the relationship between their efficiency and public spending. The following variables were considered: efficiency in coverage, approved budget, exercised budget, and rigor of the obtained results. A low annual coverage efficiency index was found in 2015 and a maximum in 2018. The annual approved budget index did not have a relevant increase from 2014 to 2015, even so it showed to be increasing through the years. The annual exercised budget index had a notable decrease in 2018. In addition, it was found that those programs with higher spending in the sample considered Seguro Popular and Pensión para Adultos Mayores -Popular Insurance and Pension for Older Adults- had outstanding results, and the Estancias Infantiles and Apoyo al Empleo programs -Children’s Stays and Employment Support- that received much lower budget, had outstanding results, i.e., they were efficient programs.
