FX.co ★ Steady Recovery: Mexico's Retail Sales Edge Up in March

In a reassuring sign of economic resilience, Mexico's retail sales have recorded a positive uptick for March 2025, increasing to 0.5% from the 0.2% observed in February 2025. The most recent data, updated on May 21, 2025, indicates a month-over-month improvement of 0.3 percentage points.

This increment suggests a gradual strengthening in consumer spending which could potentially indicate a brighter outlook for the broader economic landscape in the coming months. The previous figure in February of 0.2% had represented a stagnation period, raising concerns among analysts about a possible slow down.

With March's performance surpassing expectations, businesses and policymakers might look forward to bolstered economic activity as the retail sector plays a pivotal role in driving growth. This change in retail performance could be a key indicator of Mexico's ongoing economic recovery journey.
