Mexico’s consumer inflation cooled slightly in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) coming in at 4.45%, down from 4.59% in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 7 May 2026, show a modest easing in price pressures when comparing April’s price levels to those of April a year earlier.
The figures indicate that while inflation remains elevated, the pace of annual price increases has slowed for a second consecutive month on a year-over-year basis. The April reading reflects the change in prices relative to the same month in the previous year, while the March figure similarly compared prices to March a year earlier.
This gradual moderation in CPI may be closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation and its potential implications for monetary policy and economic activity in Mexico over the coming months.
