Mexico’s industrial activity rose 0.6% in real terms in August 2026 from July. The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) released the August indicator on October 12; the monthly rate is seasonally adjusted.
In the same adjusted series, the index was 3.6% above August 2025. The measure is based on the 2018-base Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI); the two rates compare different periods, and no sector breakdown is included because it was not verified in the source release text.
