As of May 31, 2023, the negative equity has decreased to 11,794 million pesos, indicating a recovery of 11,406 million pesos.
Despite these positive signs, the high volume of credits remains a threat to the Fund.

The total amount of credits is 693,900 million pesos, while the real liabilities for the EPS are 433,000 million pesos.
