Mexico 2026: weak growth, peso volatility, tourism shortfall

Entities: Mexico · Asia United Bank · Deloitte · Philippines · United States dollar

Overview

In late July 2026 Mexico’s economy showed only modest improvement. Real GDP growth held at 0.4 % YoY and the policy rate stayed at 6.50 %. Inflation eased to 3.1 % but activity remained sluggish, with the June ENOE survey confirming a rise in unemployment to 2.9 % and a labour‑force participation of 58.8 %. Informal employment still accounted for roughly 55 % of jobs.

Tourism linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup fell dramatically short of government expectations. Deloitte analysis estimated the tournament added only about 500 000 visitors – 198 000 foreign tourists and 296 000 domestic travellers – roughly 10 % of the 5‑million target. Hotel occupancy plunged 56 % in Mexico City and fell in Guadalajara, while Monterrey saw a 64 % rise. The event generated an estimated US$2.5 billion spill‑over, comparable to half a month of Mexico’s annual remittances, and attracted 6.8 million stadium spectators with fan festivals drawing over nine million visitors.

The Mexican peso remained volatile. On 27 July the official rate was 17.51 MXN/$, with market quotes ranging from 16.45 to 17.99 MXN/$ on 29 July. By the end of the month the peso hovered between 17.44 and 17.49 per dollar after three sessions of modest gains, reflecting the impact of a flat U.S. Federal Reserve rate decision, rising oil prices linked to Middle‑East tensions, and political uncertainty surrounding the T‑MEC trade pact.

Moody’s and S&P kept Mexico’s sovereign ratings downgraded after the U.S. shifted T‑MEC to annual reviews, leaving borrowing costs elevated. The auto sector showed mixed signals, with Freightliner cutting output in Coahuila by 45 %.
