What happened
The World Bank increased its growth forecast for Mexico in 2026 to 1.4%, up from 1.3%. Despite this increase, the bank noted that Mexico is the second-slowest of the six largest Latin American economies it tracks. The bank also reported that the United States purchased $419.3 billion worth of Mexican goods between January and August 2026.

Why it matters
The report indicates that private investment in Mexico is being held back by domestic and external policy uncertainty and trade policy friction. The World Bank expects Latin America and the Caribbean to grow 2.2% in 2026, providing a regional benchmark for economic performance.
