Mexico’s consumer price inflation accelerated slightly at the start of 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rising to 3.79% in January, up from 3.69% recorded in December 2025. The latest figures, updated on 09 February 2026, confirm a modest uptick in annual price pressures.
On a year-over-year basis, the “actual” January reading compares price changes in January 2026 with January 2025, while the “previous” figure did the same for December 2025 versus December 2024. The shift from 3.69% to 3.79% suggests that disinflation seen earlier has paused, with inflation inching higher but remaining relatively contained.
The marginal rise will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess the durability of Mexico’s recent price stability and the potential implications for future monetary policy decisions.
