The S&P Global Mexico Manufacturing PMI was relatively unchanged at 49.3 in April of 2022, compared to 49.2 in the prior month. The figure marked the 26th consecutive month of contraction in factory activity, as shrinking demand led to further declines in production. Volatility in energy prices, raw material scarcity, and limited shipping availability due to Russia’s war against Ukraine lifted input costs at the third-sharpest rate on survey record. Consequently, the rate of charge inflation passed to consumers climbed to a 46-month high. At the same time, manufacturers noted increasing capacity pressures in April, thus increasing employment. Looking forward, business confidence was seen higher, with hopes of resolution to geopolitical tensions spurring expectations of an economic rebound and improvements in supply chains. source: Markit Economics

The IHS Markit Mexico Manufacturing PMI rose to 48 in February of 2022 from 46.1 in the prior month. The latest reading pointed to the 24th consecutive month of contraction in factory activity but at a softer pace. Output continued to contract, owing to a lack of raw material availability, troubles in the automotive sector and subdued sales poor sales, but the rate of reduction softened. Also, new orders, export sales, input buying and employment fell further, although at slower rates. Meanwhile, inventories of both inputs and finished items decreased faster, as firms reported a reluctance to stockpile products in light of elevated price pressures and subdued demand conditions. Encouragingly, business confidence improved considerably from January's one-year low, while inflationary pressures retreated.
