Banxico's latest survey shows 2027 core inflation expectations improving slightly to 3.80% and 2026 GDP growth rising marginally to 1.30%. However, with inflation expectations persistently unanchored above the 3.0% target, Goldman Sachs sees no room for near-term rate cuts.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Core 2027 inflation expectations improved by 6bp to 3.80%, but both headline and core inflation expectations remain significantly above the central bank's 3.0% target and forecasts.
  • 2.Medium-term (2027-30 at 3.80%) and long-term (2031-34 at 3.70%) inflation expectations remain persistently unanchored above the 3.0% target.
  • 3.Growth expectations for 2026 ticked up by 10bp to 1.30%, while 2027 real GDP growth expectations remained flat at 1.80%.
