Mexican households have once again moderated their perception of the economy. In September 2026, the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), compiled from the results of the National Consumer Confidence Survey (ENCO), fell 1.2 points compared to the previous August, reaching 45.1 points , while year-on-year it decreased by 1 point.

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , the decline was not concentrated in a single variable. All five components of the indicator registered monthly decreases, while three registered declines on an annual basis.

During September, the component that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago was the one that fell the most, with a decline of 1.9 monthly points.

The expected economic situation of household members in 12 months compared to the current situation decreased by 1.5 units , while the economic situation of the country today compared to that of 12 months ago decreased by 1.3 monthly points.

The expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one registered a drop of 0.9 units, and the possibilities at the present time of the members of the household, compared to those of a year ago to make purchases of furniture, television, washing machine, among others, decreased by 0.5 points monthly.

On an annual basis, the component that declined the most was the expected economic situation of the country within 12 months compared to the current situation, with a drop of 2.7 points.

Conversely, the one that saw the greatest increase was the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago, which rose by 0.2 units annually.

According to the September results, the Mexican consumer is still maintaining spending, but is looking ahead with greater caution.

The decline in all five components of the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) on a monthly basis suggests that the challenge for the final stretch of the year will not only be to maintain consumption, but to regain enough confidence for households to turn their income and expectations into purchasing decisions.

The National Consumer Confidence Survey provides statistical information on how satisfied citizens are with their economic situation, that of their family and that of the country, as well as how changes in social welfare, development and other variables are perceived over time.

In August 2026, the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), based on the results of the National Survey on Consumer Confidence (ENCO), stood at  46.1 units , which implied an increase of 1 point compared to last July, according to information from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) .

In its year-on-year comparison and with seasonally adjusted figures, the ICC remained unchanged in the eighth month of the year.

On a monthly basis, all five components of this indicator showed increases, while on an annual basis only two registered declines.

During August, the component that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago saw the largest increase, rising by 1.9 points per month.

The expected economic situation of household members in 12 months, compared to the present, increased by 1.6 points month-on-month. The current ability of household members to purchase furniture, televisions, washing machines, and other items, compared to a year ago, increased by 1.1 points month-on-month.

Meanwhile, the country’s current economic situation, compared to 12 months ago, registered an increase of 0.7 points month-on-month. In turn, the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months, compared to the current situation, rose 0.1 points month-on-month.

On an annual basis, the component with the greatest growth was the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago, which rose by 2.2 points.

The one that fell the most was the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one, with a decline of 2.2 units per year.

According to the ICC results, although the monthly increase showed positive behavior, the annual balance shows stagnation compared to August 2025 , indicating that citizen optimism remains below last year’s level.

The monthly increase in August 2026 reflects a respite in economic perception , with improvements in expectations regarding households’ economic capacity, but with an annual decrease in the view of the economic future and the current situation of the country, indicating that caution persists ; this could influence the consumption and savings decisions of Mexicans.

According to Inegi, the National Consumer Confidence Survey provides statistical information on how satisfied citizens are with their economic situation, that of their family and that of the country, as well as how changes in social welfare, development and other variables are perceived over time.

El cargo Mexican consumers remain cautious about the economy in August apareció primero en T21.

Despite the uncertainty caused by constant tariff changes, Mexican consumer confidence showed a monthly increase in July 2026 , driven by the World Cup, so the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI) stood at 45 points.

According to data from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , the ICC had a growth of 1.1 units compared to last June , while at an annual rate it registered a drop of  0.7 points .

“Within it, and with seasonally adjusted figures, monthly increases were recorded in all five components that make it up,” Inegi noted.

In the seventh month of the year, the component that measures the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months compared to the current one was the one with the greatest increase, with a monthly advance of 1.8 points .

This was followed by the country’s current economic situation compared to 12 months ago, with an increase of 1.7 units compared to June 2026.

The ability of household members to purchase furniture, televisions, washing machines, and other appliances, compared to a year ago, increased by 1 point on a monthly basis.

Meanwhile, the expected economic situation of household members in 12 months compared to the current situation grew by 0.7 units; while the indicator that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what they had 12 months ago rose by 0.5 points on a monthly basis.

In its annual measurement, four of the five components declined, with the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one showing the greatest decline, with a drop of 1.4 points.

The current economic situation of household members compared to that of 12 months ago was the only component with a positive result, with 0.2 units more than in July 2025.

Consumer spending in Mexico has been mixed ; on the one hand, it grew month by month, but fell year-on-year. One of the factors that contributed to the monthly increase was the World Cup, although, according to analysts, it fell short of expectations for the sporting event.

According to the BASE Financial Group , consumption represents more than 70% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) , and determines families’ disposable income and their willingness to consume.

The Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), based on the results of the National Consumer Confidence Survey (ENCO), stood at 43.5 points in May 2026 , which implied a decrease of 0.7 units compared to last April, according to information from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) .

In its year-on-year comparison and with seasonally adjusted figures, the ICC also showed a slowdown, registering a  drop of 3.4 points  in the fifth month of 2026.

This decrease resulted from monthly reductions in the five components that make up the Consumer Confidence Indicator.

During May, the component that measures the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months compared to the current one was the one that fell the most, with a decrease of 1.6 monthly points.

The country’s economic situation today, compared to 12 months ago, has dropped 1 point compared to April 2026.

The current economic situation of household members compared to that of 12 months ago ; as well as the current possibilities of household members, compared to those of a year ago to make purchases of furniture, television, washing machine, among others , were reduced by 0.7 units per month each.

The component that measures the expected economic situation of household members in 12 months compared to the current one registered a monthly decrease of 0.3 points.

On an annual basis, all five components of the ICC also fell , with the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one showing the greatest decrease at 5.8 points.

The decline in consumer confidence, both in its monthly and annual measurements, signals a setback in the Mexican economy and reflects the deterioration in families’ perception of their financial situation, although a rebound in consumption is expected due to cyclical factors.

The BASE Financial Group estimated that private consumption will grow between 1.8% and 2.2% , driven by the World Cup and a greater number of tourists arriving in Mexico for the sporting event.

El cargo “At rock bottom”, Mexican consumer confidence in May apareció primero en T21.

After closing 2025 with a monthly increase of 0.6 points, consumer confidence in Mexico fell in January 2026 , due to the economic situation in households and the increase in the price of some products and services, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) reported on Friday .

According to the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), during the first month of the year, consumer confidence registered a decrease of 0.6 points compared to December 2025. The indicator also fell in its annual measurement, with a decline of 2.7 units last January.

Within it, and with seasonally adjusted figures, monthly decreases were observed in the five components that make up the ICC .

Last January, the component that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago was the one that fell the most, registering a drop of 0.9 monthly points.

This was followed by the expected economic situation of household members within 12 months compared to the current situation, with a decrease of 0.7 units compared to December 2025.

The country’s economic situation today compared to 12 months ago, and the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months compared to the current one, registered declines of 0.5 points each, compared to the last month of last year.

Meanwhile, the indicator that measures the current ability of household members, compared to a year ago, to make purchases of furniture and appliances, decreased by 0.4 units per month.

On an annual basis, four of the five components that make up the ICC registered declines , with the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one showing the greatest decline at 6.5 points.

Conversely, the ability of household members to make purchases of furniture and appliances at the present time, compared to a year ago, was the only component that grew, with 0.4 units compared to January 2025.

Private consumption is one of the most important components of the Mexican economy, since between this indicator and investment, they represent 80% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

However, projections from international institutions and organizations, such as the International Chamber of Commerce Mexico (ICC Mexico) , have indicated that a recovery in spending on goods and services is not anticipated during 2026, due to the effects of tariffs from the American Union and the review of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (USMCA) .

After a decline last November, consumer confidence in Mexico rebounded in December 2025, according to information from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico)  published this Tuesday.

According to the  Consumer Confidence Index (CCI),  the last month of last year saw an increase of  0.6 points  compared to November 2025, reaching  44.7 units . However, in its annual measurement, the CCI showed a decline of 2.4 points in December 2025.

Within it, and with seasonally adjusted figures,  monthly increases were observed in the five components that make up the ICC , despite the perception of economic uncertainty due to the constant trade changes caused by the escalation of tariffs.

The largest monthly increase was in the country’s current economic situation compared to 12 months ago , with a rise of 1.5 points. This was followed by the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current situation , with an increase of 0.8 points.

The current economic situation of household members compared to that of 12 months ago , and the possibility of making purchases of various furniture , each registered increases of 0.2 points.

December’s results show a recovery in consumer confidence, as well as in the country’s economy ; however, Mexican households remain cautious in their spending, given the constantly changing economic outlook.

The measurement of the Consumer Confidence Indicator allows us to understand consumers’ perceptions of their current economic situation and that of the country, as well as their expectations, Inegi highlighted.

Last November, a downward trend in consumer confidence was recorded in Mexico, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico)  published this Friday.

According to the  Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), a drop of 1.6 points  was reported   compared to October 2025, to stand at  44.2 points , which represented its third consecutive monthly decline.

The year-on-year decrease was more significant. Compared to November 2024, the decline was 3.5 units .

Within it, and with seasonally adjusted figures, monthly reductions were observed in the five components that make up the ICC , which reinforces the perception of economic uncertainty in the face of constant trade changes due to the escalation of tariffs.

Variations in the components of the ICC

Regarding the components of the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), the largest monthly decrease was observed in the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current situation , with a drop of 2.4 points. This was followed by the current economic situation of the country compared to that of 12 months ago , with a decrease of 2.3 points.

November data from the ICC reflect a less confident outlook for the Mexican economy  and suggest greater caution in Mexican household spending.

According to Inegi, it is important to measure the Consumer Confidence Indicator, since it allows us to know the perception of consumers about their current economic situation and that of the country, as well as their expectations.

El cargo Mexico’s economic situation hits consumer confidence in November apareció primero en T21.

The increase in the purchase of domestic and foreign products resulted in a 0.6% increase in private consumption in Mexico during August 2025 compared to last July, according to the Monthly Indicator of Private Consumption (IMCP) , prepared by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), which was released this Wednesday .

This increase marked the fourth monthly advance of the IMCP so far this year and also reflected the positive evolution of household spending  on goods and services , despite the country’s economic volatility.

In the reference month, the indicator stood at 112.1 points . In its year-on-year comparison, private consumption increased by 0.9% in the eighth month of 2025.

Measuring private consumption is important because it represents the spending by Mexican families on the purchase of goods and services, making it a key indicator of the economy.

According to seasonally adjusted figures and monthly rates, consumption of  domestically produced goods and services  increased by 0.8 percent . Goods saw a 1.3% increase, while services rose by 0.2 percent. As for  imported goods, consumption increased by 0.3% in August of this year compared to the previous month.

In its annual measurement, spending on domestic goods and services grew 0.3% and spending on imported goods advanced 4.4 percent.

After a drop last July, private consumption rebounded in August, driven by the return to school, BBVA Research estimated , noting that, although the increase represents a respite for this segment of economic activity, “it is not enough to consolidate a sign of recovery towards the second half of the year, particularly given the continued deterioration of consumer confidence.”

According to Inegi, “the Monthly Indicator of Private Consumption measures the spending behavior of households on consumer goods and services, both of national and imported origin.”

Consumer confidence declines in October

According to data from Inegi and the  Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , the  Consumer Confidence Indicator (ICC) reached  46.1 points  in October 2025, representing a drop of  0.3 units  compared to last September, while at an annual rate and with seasonally adjusted figures, the indicator registered a decrease of  3.2 points  in the period.

In the reference month, the component that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago was the only one that increased, with a monthly advance of 0.2 points.

The country’s future economic situation was the component with the largest decline, falling 0.8 points month-over-month. This was followed by the component that assesses the current ability of household members to purchase durable goods , which fell 0.6 points compared to September 2025.

The country’s economic situation today, compared to 12 months ago , fell by 0.3 units, and the expected economic situation of household members within 12 months, compared to the current one , decreased by 0.1 monthly points.

“The Consumer Confidence Indicator measures consumers’ perceptions of their current economic situation and that of the country, as well as their expectations,” Inegi stated.

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.
