Mexico’s gross domestic product returned to growth in the second quarter of 2026, expanding by 1.5% quarter-over-quarter, according to data updated on 30 July 2026. The improvement marks a clear turnaround from the first quarter of 2026, when GDP contracted by 0.6% compared with the previous quarter.
The latest figures indicate that the Mexican economy has shifted from a mild downturn at the start of the year to a phase of renewed expansion. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the current 1.5% rise contrasts sharply with the negative momentum seen in the first quarter, underscoring a stronger short-term growth profile for the country heading into the second half of 2026.
