Annual inflation in Mexico stood at 3.49% during the first half of August 2025, reported INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography). This figure reflects the average increase in the prices of products and services consumed by households, as measured by the National Consumer Price Index (INPC). The INPC stood at 140,800 points, meaning prices rose very little compared to the previous two weeks, just 0.02%, and remain relatively stable.
Within the INPC, core inflation, which excludes products with highly volatile prices, rose 0.09%, with increases of 0.09% for merchandise and 0.10% for services. Non-core inflation, which includes more volatile products such as fruits, vegetables, and energy, fell 0.41%. For example, fruit and vegetable prices fell 1.19%, while energy and government-controlled tariffs rose only 0.04%.
Inflation is not the same throughout Mexico
In the first half of August 2025, the states with the highest price increases were Durango and Nayarit, with 4.5% annually, followed by San Luis Potosí with 4.3%. In contrast, Baja California Sur, Tlaxcala, and Morelos had the most stable prices, with 2.5%.
In Nayarit, the price increase is above the national average of 3.49%. This means that the products and services purchased by households increased more rapidly than in other states.
Experts explain that these differences are mainly due to food and energy, and recommend that families pay attention to how prices change on a daily basis.
