FX.co ★ Mexico’s Gross Fixed Investment Slips Into Negative in May After Strong April

Mexico’s gross fixed investment turned negative in May 2026, ending the strong growth momentum seen a month earlier. According to the latest data updated on 5 August 2026, the month‑over‑month indicator fell to -0.40% in May, compared with a 4.00% increase recorded in April 2026.

The figures, measured on a month‑over‑month basis, show a clear swing in investment dynamics. April’s 4.00% gain reflected a solid expansion relative to March, but May’s -0.40% reading indicates a mild contraction compared to April. The shift suggests a cooling in capital spending after a robust start to the second quarter, highlighting potential caution among businesses as they navigate the current economic environment.
