Mexico's inflation continues to heat up as the nation's core Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects an uptick in the first half of January 2026. Recent data updated on January 22, 2026, indicates that the core CPI has reached a rate of 0.43%, a noticeable increase from the 0.31% recorded in December 2025.
This rise in the core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, suggests underlying inflationary pressures within the Mexican economy. The increase highlights potential challenges for policymakers aiming to keep inflation in check while supporting economic growth.
Economists and market analysts will likely keep a close watch on these developments, as further increases could influence monetary policy decisions. As the Mexican economy navigates the current landscape, monitoring CPI dynamics is crucial for anticipating future financial strategies and ensuring economic stability.
