Mexico’s core inflation edged down in March 2026, offering a modest sign of disinflation as price pressures continue to ease. The indicator slipped to 4.45% in March from 4.50% in February 2026, according to data updated on 9 April 2026.
On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading shows that the pace of core price increases has slowed compared with the previous month, extending the gradual cooling trend observed earlier in the year. The “Actual” figure for March reflects the change relative to February, while the “Previous” figure for February captures the change compared with January.
Although the decline is marginal, the move from 4.50% to 4.45% suggests that underlying inflationary pressures in Mexico may be stabilizing, a development closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of interest rates and broader economic conditions.
