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.

Inflation in Mexico, which continues to rise and reached 4.63% annually in the first half of March 2026, has caused, along with factors such as a slowdown in the Mexican economy, a deterioration in the perception that families have about their financial situation.

In that context, the Consumer Confidence Indicator (CCI), based on the results of the National Survey on Consumer Confidence (ENCO), reached  44.1 points in the third month of the year , which represented a decrease of 0.3 units compared to February 2016, 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 2 points  in March 2026.

During March, the component that measures the current possibilities of household members, compared to those of a year ago, to make purchases of furniture, television, washing machine, among others , decreased by 1.2 monthly points.

Meanwhile, the country’s current economic situation, compared to 12 months ago , has declined by 1.2 points month-on-month. Similarly, the expected economic situation of household members in 12 months, compared to the present , fell by 0.5 points in March 2026 compared to last February.

The component that measures the current economic situation of household members compared to what it was 12 months ago decreased by 0.2 units on a monthly basis.

The category that captures expectations about the country’s economic situation expected within 12 months compared to the current situation remained unchanged in its monthly measurement.

On an annual basis, all five components of the ICC fell , with the expected economic situation of the country in 12 months compared to the current one showing the greatest decrease at 3.5 points.

Data from INEGI reveals  consumer concern about Mexico’s current economic situation, which, according to financial institutions and analysts, remains moderate amid rising inflation.

The  country’s economic outlook is not encouraging . Along those lines, the most recent Citi Mexico Expectations Survey indicated that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for this year has been reduced to 1.4% from the 1.5% projected in the previous survey.

Meanwhile, it was estimated that inflation for 2026 could reach 4.23% , up from a previous 4.1%, which would increase the cost of various basic goods, affecting the wallets of Mexicans.

El cargo Mexican consumer confidence declines in March 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.

The expected economic situation of household members in 12 months compared to the current situation decreased by 1 point compared to October 2025.

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.

After a setback last June, Mexican consumer confidence saw a slight recovery in July 2025, amid a new economic outlook stemming from uncertainty over global tariffs.

According to information from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) , the  Consumer Confidence Indicator (ICC)  reached  45.9 points  in the seventh month of the year, which represented a  monthly growth of 0.4 points .

In its annual comparison and with seasonally adjusted figures, the ICC registered a drop of  1.2 units  last July.

Within this framework, and with seasonally adjusted figures, monthly increases were observed in the components that assess the household’s current economic situation, the country’s current economic situation, and the current ability of household members to purchase durable goods. In contrast, the indicators that capture the household’s expected economic situation and the country’s future situation declined.

In the seventh month of the year, 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 2.5 points.

This was followed by the country’s current economic situation compared to 12 months ago , as well as the current economic situation of household members compared to 12 months ago , each with an increase of 0.1 units.

In the reference period, the component that registered the greatest decline was the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months, compared to the current one , with a decrease of 0.3 points.

The expected economic situation of household members in 12 months, compared to the current situation , registered a decrease of 0.2 units.

The rebound in Mexican consumer confidence in July 2025 signals a slight recovery in the economy and Mexican purchasing power.

The CPI figures come in a context in which inflation is beginning to decline. In the first half of July alone, the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) stood at 3.55% in its annual measurement, after having trended upward in the first months of 2025.

The drop in inflation is one of the factors that has influenced the improvement in the purchasing power of Mexican consumers.

Inflation in Mexico , which continues to rise and reached 4.51% in the first half of June compared to the previous year, has caused, along with factors such as the United States’ tariff policy, a deterioration in families’ perceptions of their economic situation.

In this context, the  Consumer Confidence Indicator (ICC) reached 45.4 points in the sixth month of the year, which represented a decrease of  1.1 points per month , according to information from the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) .

The agency also indicated that, in its annual comparison and with seasonally adjusted figures, the ICC registered a drop of 2.2 units last June.

“Within this framework, and with seasonally adjusted figures, monthly decreases were observed in the components that capture the current economic situation of the household, the current and future economic situation of the country, as well as the current ability of household members to purchase durable goods. The indicator corresponding to the expected economic situation of the household increased,” INEGI stated.

During June 2025, the component that measures household members’ current affordability to purchase furniture, televisions, washing machines, and other items decreased by 2.6 points per month compared to a year ago.

Meanwhile, the country’s economic situation today, compared to 12 months ago, decreased by 1.2 points monthly. Meanwhile, the country’s expected economic situation in 12 months, compared to the current one, showed a monthly decline of 0.9 points .

The current economic situation of household members, compared to 12 months ago, decreased by 0.3 units monthly.

On the other hand, the item that captures expectations about the economic situation of household members in 12 months compared to the current situation was the only one that reported a monthly increase, with a rise of 0.2 points .

INEGI data reveals consumer concern about Mexico’s current economic situation, which, according to financial institutions and analysts, has entered a period of restraint, with a tendency toward a possible recession in the coming months.

The country’s economic outlook is not encouraging . Along these lines, the financial institution Banamex estimated that general inflation could close the year at 4% and forecasts zero growth for 2025. Therefore, “it is possible that the economic stagnation will extend,” which would lead to a decline in consumption, one of Mexico’s economic drivers.

Last April, consumer confidence in Mexico saw a downward trend. According to the Consumer Confidence Indicator (ICC), it fell 0.6 points compared to the previous month, to 45.3 points, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) and the Bank of Mexico .

The annual decline was more significant. Compared to April 2024 , the drop was 2.2 points , from 47.3 to 45.3 points . This year, all components of the CCI registered decreases, reinforcing the perception of economic uncertainty.

Variations in the components of the ICC

Regarding the CCI components , the largest monthly decrease was observed in confidence in the ability to purchase durable goods, such as furniture and appliances, which fell 1.1 points compared to March; and the expected economic situation in a year decreased 0.9 points .

On an annual basis, the component that saw the most significant decline was the country’s current economic situation compared to last year, with a drop of 2.9 points ; followed by the expected economic situation in a year, with a decrease of 2.7 points .

Impact on other indicators

Regarding complementary indicators, the ICC noted that the economic possibilities for family vacations during the year showed the greatest decline, falling 3.3 points compared to the previous month.

These data reflect a picture of lower confidence in the Mexican economy and suggest greater caution in Mexican household spending. The downward trend in the CCI in recent months could be related to factors such as inflation, employment, and global economic uncertainty .
