  "account": "In the second quarter of 2026, Mexico's economy experienced mixed growth and contraction, according to revised data released by the national statistics agency INEGI. While the economy expanded by 1.4% quarter-over-quarter and 1.9% annually, it contracted by 0.1% month-over-month in June, marking a slight improvement from the 0.3% contraction in the first quarter. The World Cup spending contributed to the Q2 rebound, with the primary sector leading the growth at 2.4% quarter-over-quarter and 4.8% annually. The secondary sector expanded by 1.6% quarter-over-quarter and 0.9% annually, while the tertiary sector grew by 1.4% quarter-over-quarter and 2.3% annually. However, Mexico's annual headline inflation rate climbed to 3.26% in the first 15 days of August, up from 3.12% in July. The Bank of Mexico forecasts a 1.1% economic growth for the year, while the International Monetary Fund predicts a 1.2% growth.",
  "summary": "Analysts partially attributed the solid economic performance in the second quarter to spending related to the FIFA men's World Cup, though June on the whole produced a decline.
