The Mexican economy contracted 0.4% on the quarter in the three months leading to September of 2021, above preliminary estimates of a 0.2% decrease. It is the first contraction in four quarters with the services sector shrinking 0.9% and surpassing the preliminary estimate of a 0.6% decrease. Services were hindered by the rise of the delta variant of the coronavirus during Q3, resulting in shutdowns and restrictions for restaurants, stores, and other public venues. On the other hand, the primary sector rose 1.3%, above the preliminary estimate of 0.7%, while the industrial sector grew 0.3% from the preliminary estimate of 0.7%. Secondary activity suffered from global supply-chain bottlenecks and the semiconductor chip shortage that hurt the auto industry, which adds up to 18% of Mexico's manufacturing output and one third of exports. Year-on-year, the economy expanded 4.5%, slightly less than the initial estimate of a 4.6%. source: Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI)

Mexico GDP Growth Unrevised at 1.5% in Q2
The Mexican economy expanded 1.5% on quarter in the three months to June of 2021, in line with preliminary estimates, and booking the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. The services sector jumped 3%, way better than initial estimates of 2.1% due to easing coronavirus restrictions. The agricultural sector also increased more than anticipated (0.8% vs 0.6%) while the industrial sector grew at a slightly weaker pace (0.3% vs 0.4%). Positive spillovers from US economic expansion via rising Mexican exports and stronger terms of trade are likely to continue to support the economy. Still, rising coronavirus infections are a threat as the country is now going through its third wave of infections and as cases continue to rise in Canada and the US, the country's biggest trading partners. Year-on-year, the economy expanded 19.6%, slightly less than initial estimates of a 19.7% surge. Still, it remains the first growth in 2 years.
