Mexico’s annual inflation rises to 3.75% in October

November 9, 2026. Mexico’s annual headline inflation reached 3.75% in October, up from 3.45% in September, according to data released by INEGI. The national consumer price index rose 0.65% from the previous month. Core inflation was 3.80% year over year and 0.34% month over month.

The figure covers the full month and updates the early-October reading. INEGI’s official account posted the figures, reproduced by news outlets; Reuters reported the same indicators. Direct access to the official post was restricted during this review.

Why it matters

Faster price increases affect purchasing power and add information for monetary policy after the Bank of Mexico reduced its target rate to 6.25% on November 5.

Rockstar Briefing editorial analysis

One higher monthly inflation reading does not determine the central bank’s next decision. The behavior of persistent price components and inflation expectations will help show whether the acceleration lasts.
