Annual inflation in Mexico records 3.69% in January

The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reported that inflation in Mexico decreased to 3.69% annually in the first half of January, marking the lowest level since February 2021.

This decrease was driven by the drop in prices of agricultural products and services. However, the prices of goods, especially food, continued to rise, which raises concern among specialists.

Experts warn that, although inflation has shown a downward trend, there are still risks in key sectors. The pressure on food and energy prices could hinder this positive trend. Furthermore, it is expected that the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) will consider these factors in its monetary policy, evaluating possible adjustments in interest rates to maintain economic stability.

It is essential that the authorities closely monitor these indicators and take preventive measures to avoid an inflationary rebound that affects the purchasing power of Mexicans, especially in essential products.
