Banxico survey sees lower inflation, stronger growth and 6.50% hold

The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) recently surveyed private economists and discovered a lower inflation outlook, stronger economic growth, and a projected 6.50% interest rate hold. Inflation is expected to end at 3.87% in 2026, down from August's 3.90%, while core inflation is forecast to finish at 3.90%, beneath August's 3.99% projection.

Economists also predict GDP growth to be 1.40% in 2025, up from 1.30% in August, and a USD/MXN exchange rate to end the year at 17.50 and 18.04 by 2026. Analysts believe Banxico will maintain interest rates at 6.50% through the end of 2025. Banxico, Mexico's central bank, is responsible for preserving the value of the Mexican Peso and setting monetary policy, primarily through interest rate adjustments.
