Investing.com -- Mexico’s GDP expanded by 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2025, according to provisional data, showing stronger-than-expected growth despite ongoing tariff challenges.
The Q2 expansion exceeded both analyst expectations and the LSEG consensus forecast of 0.4% quarter-on-quarter. This marks a significant improvement from the 0.2% growth recorded in the first quarter of 2025.
This quarterly performance represents the strongest expansion for the Mexican economy since the third quarter of 2024, suggesting resilience in the face of trade pressures.
Capital Economics noted: "While we don’t think this marks the start to a sustained pick-up in growth, the strong Q2 GDP figures pose an upside risk to our GDP and interest rate forecasts."
The provisional data indicates that Mexico’s economy is weathering the current tariff environment better than many economists had anticipated.
