FX.co ★ Mexico’s Gross Fixed Investment Contraction Eases in March, Year-on-Year Decline Narrows

Mexico’s gross fixed investment fell 2.60% year-on-year in March 2026, marking a smaller contraction than the 4.20% annual decline recorded in February 2026, according to data updated on 4 June 2026. The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring March 2026 investment levels against those of March 2025.

The moderation in the pace of decline suggests that while investment activity in Mexico remains under pressure, the downturn may be losing intensity. The improvement from February to March indicates a partial recovery in capital spending, a key driver for long-term growth prospects and productive capacity in the economy. However, with the indicator still in negative territory, the data point to continued caution among investors and businesses.
