Mexico has held its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 7.00% in its latest policy decision for January 2026, maintaining the same level set in December 2025.
According to the most recent data, updated on 05 February 2026, the January decision marks a continuation of Mexico’s current monetary stance rather than a shift toward either tightening or easing. By keeping the rate at 7.00%, policymakers are signaling a preference for stability, choosing to watch how previous rate settings filter through the economy before considering any further adjustments.
The unchanged rate suggests that authorities are balancing the need to support economic activity with the goal of keeping inflation expectations in check, using the existing 7.00% level as an anchor while they assess incoming data in the months ahead.
