This 12-month figure is, for the third consecutive month, above the Bank of Mexico's (central) inflation target of 3%, +/- one percentage point.

Compared to September 2020, in October inflation was 0.61%, this was due, according to INEGI, to the fact that during this last month the following products and services increased their prices: cactus (30.05%), onion (25.24%), zucchini (20.78%), electricity (18.66%), tomato, (18.61%) and air transportation (0.86%).
