FX.co ★ Mexico’s Gross Fixed Investments Stampede to -6.70% in Year-Over-Year Decline for January

Mexico's economic landscape has witnessed a further contraction in gross fixed investments, dipping to a worrying -6.70% year-over-year this January, signaling an intensified deceleration from the previous month's -4.00% decline. The latest figures, updated on April 3, 2025, underscore a persisting investment slowdown compared to the same period last year.

The string of consecutive declines suggests growing skepticism and hesitancy among investors concerning the short-term economic outlook in Mexico. A comparison of the December 2024 data, which saw investments decline by 4.00% year-over-year, with January 2025's figure, reveals a significant downward trend.

Stakeholders and analysts are now under pressure to decipher the underlying factors contributing to this continued downward trajectory in gross fixed investments. Issues such as domestic policy uncertainty and shifting global economic conditions could be playing pivotal roles. As Mexico grapples with these economic headwinds, the focus remains on potential recovery strategies to restore investor confidence and stimulate growth in the coming months.
