In June 2025, Mexico experienced a 6.4% year-over-year decline in gross fixed investment, marking the tenth consecutive month of contraction. This performance showed a slight improvement over May's revised 6.6% decrease. The primary factor behind this decline was a 9.7% reduction in machinery and equipment investments, notably driven by a significant 15.8% decrease in imported transport equipment. Overall, investment in imported goods saw a 6.4% fall, while domestic goods investments contracted by 14.2%. The construction sector also faced challenges; non-residential building activity decreased by 13.7%, which overshadowed a 12% increase in residential projects. Public investment experienced a sharp drop of 24%, while private investment decreased by 3.9%. On a seasonally adjusted month-to-month basis, investment declined by 1.4%, following a 1.2% increase in May.
