In the first half of December 2025, Mexico's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) witnessed a significant uptick, rising to 0.31% from the previous rate of 0.04% recorded in November. This sharp increase marks a noteworthy change as it reflects substantial price pressures within the economy.

The announcement, updated on December 23, 2025, comes as Mexico battles ongoing inflationary pressures impacting various sectors of its economy. Such a steep rise in the Core CPI, which excludes volatile items like food and energy, underscores the persistent challenges faced by policymakers in managing domestic price levels.

As we move towards the end of the year, all eyes will be on the upcoming policy responses by the central bank to this inflationary trend. The latest figures underscore the necessity for strategic fiscal measures to ensure sustained economic stability and confidence as Mexico navigates through this vital economic phase.
