INEGI's Indicador Oportuno de la Actividad Económica (IOAE) provides an early estimate of Mexico's economic activity, adjusted for seasonal effects. For September, it estimated annual increases of 3.6% in secondary activities and 4.0% in tertiary activities.

INEGI says the IOAE is published about five weeks before the official monthly activity indicator, IGAE. These figures are econometric nowcasts rather than final observations, and the bulletin reports 95% confidence intervals.

## Data

### IOAE estimates for September 2026

Seasonally adjusted September 2026 nowcasts; annual and monthly percentage changes.

|---|---|---|
| Overall activity (IGAE) | 3.7 | 0.1 |
| Secondary activities | 3.6 | 0.1 |
| Tertiary activities | 4.0 | 0.1 |
