Mexico’s gross fixed investment continued to contract in February 2026, but at a slower pace than at the start of the year, according to the latest month-over-month data released on 06 May 2026. The indicator stood at -0.80% in February, improving from a -1.10% decline recorded in January 2026.
On a month-over-month basis, the February reading shows that while investment is still shrinking, the rate of decline has moderated compared with the previous month. The January figure reflected the change versus December 2025, while the February result captures the shift relative to January 2026, underscoring a tentative easing in downward pressure on capital spending.
Although gross fixed investment remains in negative territory, the reduced contraction may hint at early signs of stabilization in Mexico’s investment environment. Market participants will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this softer decline can transition into a return to positive growth in the coming months.
