Mexico’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) growth slowed in March 2026, pointing to a modest easing of underlying inflationary pressures. Core CPI rose 0.38% month-over-month in March, down from 0.46% in February 2026, according to data updated on 9 April 2026.
The month-over-month comparison shows that while prices continued to increase, the pace of core inflation has decelerated. The February reading of 0.46% reflected the change from January to February, whereas the March figure of 0.38% captures the change from February to March.
This moderation in core CPI may be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation in Mexico and its potential implications for future monetary policy decisions. While the data still point to ongoing price pressures, the slower monthly gain suggests a slight easing in underlying inflation momentum.
