Headline inflation in Latin America's second-largest economy hit 4.44% in the 12 months through early September, down from 4.64% at the end of August, data from statistics agency INEGI showed. If not, we're talking about the Bank of Mexico standing on just one foot," the president told a press conference. It warned that it would be necessary to maintain it for an "extended" period to meet its inflation target of 3%, plus or minus one percentage point. Mexico's economy grew 0.2% in July from June and expanded 3.2% from the same month a year before, the national statistics agency said earlier on Friday.

REUTERS/Edgard GarridoMEXICO CITY, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Mexico's economic activity indicators in the third quarter point to economic growth in line with forecasts of 2.4% annual growth in 2022, the country's finance ministry said on Friday. The ministry said dynamic economic activity and a strong labor market led to "positive results" in tax collection, putting it on track to meet year-end estimates. It also said economic activity was propelled by gross fixed investment, especially in national machinery and equipment and residential construction. Refinancing strategies have managed to refinance an accumulated $78 billion, or 14% of Mexico's total debt, according to the ministry. Mexico's financial system also remained "well capitalized" and its credit market continued to show signs of recovery, the ministry said.
