Mexico Posts Q3 Current-Account Surplus of $2.33 Billion, Banxico Reports

The central bank says improved non‑oil merchandise balances drove the reversal from earlier deficits.

Overview

  • The surplus equaled 0.5% of GDP, reversing a 0.5% deficit in Q3 2024 and a $1.79 billion shortfall in Q2 2025.
  • Banxico highlights stronger non‑oil goods balances and a smaller primary‑income gap as key supports.
  • Offsetting factors included a thinner secondary‑income surplus plus wider deficits in services and petroleum goods.
  • Net capital flows showed a $22 million capital‑account deficit and a $942 million financial‑account surplus on renewed FDI and portfolio inflows as global conditions eased.
  • The report lists $205.65 billion in credits and $203.32 billion in debits, and notes the trade deficit narrowed to $2.40 billion through September.
