The September results of the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) for Mexico show a slight decrease in consumer confidence as the index has shifted from the previous month's figure of 53.15 to a new low of 52.74. This updated data, released on September 10, 2025, marks a month-over-month decline in sentiment.
In August 2025, the PCSI had experienced an improvement, rising to 53.15. However, this latest change indicates some wavering consumer confidence as the index inches down. This gradual dip could reflect a region-specific decline in consumer optimism or adjustments to consumer outlook in response to external economic factors.
Despite the slight decline, the PCSI remains above the 50-point neutral threshold, suggesting that overall consumer sentiment is still leaning towards positivity. It's a crucial time to watch how future economic developments, ranging from policy changes to international trade, will affect consumer outlook in Mexico. Economists and market analysts will be keeping a keen eye on whether this decrease is an anomaly or the start of a more significant trend in consumer sentiment.
