Mexico’s consumer inflation picked up pace in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.50%, up from a 0.38% increase in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 March 2026, show a clear acceleration in price growth at the start of the year.
On a month‑over‑month basis, February’s “actual” reading compares the change in prices in February to those in January, while the “previous” figure reflects January’s increase over December. The move from 0.38% to 0.50% suggests mounting price pressures within Mexico’s economy, a development that investors and policymakers will be watching closely for its implications on interest rates, currency dynamics, and broader financial conditions.
