Economic projections for retail sales in Mexico

Retailers in various Mexican regions are preparing for significant seasonal commercial activity. In Culiacán, Sinaloa, flower prices for the Day of the Dead celebrations are expected to rise by an average of 20 percent compared to last year. This increase is attributed to higher production and transportation costs. Despite higher prices, vendors anticipate a 100 percent increase in sales volume compared to a typical day, as consumers often save specifically for this holiday.

In southern Tamaulipas, specifically within the Tampico, Ciudad Madero, and Altamira conurbation, business leaders project sales of 1.7 billion pesos during the 16th edition of 'El Buen Fin' from November 13 to 17. This represents a 5 percent growth over the previous year. The Chamber of Commerce (Canaco) estimates that approximately 79 percent of these transactions will occur in physical stores, while the remainder will be conducted through electronic platforms.
