The International Monetary Fund maintained Mexico's 2026 GDP growth forecast at 1.5% in its World Economic Outlook released January 2026, while estimating final 2025 growth at 0.6%. The IMF cited gradual monetary easing and a broadly neutral fiscal stance despite trade tensions, and projects a 2.1% rebound in 2027; its Mexico outlook is higher than Citi's recent estimates.
