Faced with a changing economic landscape stemming from uncertainty over the constant changes in tariffs around the world, Mexican consumer confidence rose in August 2025, with the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI) posting two consecutive months of positive results.
According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , the ICC reached 46.7 points in the eighth month of the year, representing a growth of 0.7 points compared to last July.
On an annual basis and with seasonally adjusted figures, this indicator registered a drop of 0.7 points in August 2025.
“Within this framework, monthly progress was observed in the components that capture the household’s expected economic situation, the country’s current and future economic situation, and the one that assesses household members’ current ability to purchase durable goods,” INEGI stated.
In the reference month, the component that measures household members’ current affordability, compared to a year ago, to purchase furniture, televisions, washing machines, and other items , saw the greatest increase, with a monthly increase of 1.1 points.
This was followed by the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months, compared to the current one , with an increase of one point compared to July 2025.
The expected economic situation of household members in 12 months, compared to the current situation , increased by 0.8 points. Meanwhile, the country’s economic situation today, compared to 12 months ago , increased by 0.6 points.
Last August, the current economic situation of household members compared to 12 months ago remained unchanged compared to the seventh month of the year.
The August CCI results show signs of a slight recovery in the economy, as well as in the purchasing power of Mexicans. Despite the tariff war that has increased the cost of various products, Mexicans continue to purchase goods and services, albeit with caution.
One of the factors that has influenced the improvement in Mexican consumers’ purchasing power is the slowdown in inflation, which stood at 3.49% in the first half of August on an annual basis.
