The Mexican economy breaks records in April
President Claudia Sheinbaum could not hide her emotion this morning. “There is very good news from April. It is very, very good data,” he said from the podium of Las mañaneras del pueblo.
And boy do you have reasons to smile. It is not one piece of information, not two. There are five indicators that paint a picture of strength.
“There is very good news from April. It is very, very good data,” said President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo in the morning conference.
Employment at its peak. As of April 30, the IMSS reported 22 million 748 thousand 603 affiliated positions. It is the highest figure for the month of April and the third highest in history. In April alone, 23,923 new jobs were added.
Cars that fly. In the first four months, 500,512 light vehicles were sold. Absolute record. People are buying, and that moves the real economy.
Historic remittances. March brought 5,394 million dollars in remittances. It is the highest growth since November 2024. And in the full quarter, they amount to 14,457 million dollars, another record for a first quarter.
Inflation down. After three months rising, April saw it fall to 4.45 percent. A break for families’ pockets.
Friendlier rates. The Bank of Mexico cut the interest rate to 6.5 percent. Less cost of money, more investment. This is how the engine is reactivated.
Coincidence or strategy? Sheinbaum sells it as the result of its economic policy. The numbers, at least, prove him right in this first move of his administration.
