Mexico's economy grew 3.7% in September compared with a year earlier, according to preliminary seasonally adjusted figures from the national statistics agency INEGI, Mexico News Daily reports. It is the strongest annual growth of any month so far in 2026, ahead of 3.3% in July and an estimated 3.2% in August. Month on month, growth slowed to 0.1% from 0.5% in August.
Services grew 4% year on year and industry 3.6%. The figures are provisional, with final data due in late November. Banco Base analyst Gabriela Siller said third-quarter growth could reach about 3% annually, a sharp improvement on 0.4% in the first quarter and 1.9% in the second. The economy grew only 0.8% in 2025, and the IMF recently raised its 2026 forecast for Mexico to 1.5%.
