Due to improved performance in the service and trade sectors, and after a decline last March, Mexican economic activity showed a rebound of 0.7% in April 2025 at an annual rate, anticipated the Timely Indicator of Economic Activity (IOAE) , published this Monday by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) .
According to the report, the IOAE showed no monthly changes in the fourth month of the year.
By economic activity group, an annual decline of 0.8% is expected in secondary industries, which include manufacturing and construction, in the aforementioned month.
In tertiary activities , which include services such as commerce, transportation and communications, education and health, an annual increase of 1.5% is expected.
On a monthly basis, no changes are expected in the Global Economic Activity Indicator (GEI) for secondary activities; tertiary activities are expected to decline by 0.1% for April of this year.
The upward trend in economic activity in April follows declines in February and March 2025, after a positive start to the year with a slight increase of 1.8% at an annual rate last January.
The April IOAE figures come at a time when the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) stood at 3.93% annually in the fourth month of 2025, marking a third consecutive month of inflation in Mexico.
They also occur during a period of uncertainty caused by a US-led tariff policy that has spread throughout the world, pending what will happen after a 90-day truce.
According to INEGI, the IOAE provides timely econometric estimates of the evolution of the Global Economic Activity Indicator, as well as secondary and tertiary activities.
