Mexico’s retail sales showed a solid recovery in August 2026, rising 1.2% month-over-month, according to data updated on 21 October 2026. The performance marks a clear turnaround from July 2026, when sales had edged down by 0.1% compared with June.
The month-over-month comparison highlights a shift in consumer activity, with August’s positive reading reversing the previous month’s mild contraction. While detailed drivers of the rebound are not provided, the improvement suggests firmer household demand and could signal a more supportive environment for the country’s domestic consumption heading into the latter part of 2026.
