What this value means
Cut 75bps to 5.75% at the 3 Mar 2026 COPOM, then held unanimously at the 21 Apr (noticia 504), 26 May (noticia 509) and 1 Jul 2026 (noticia 519) meetings, aiming to converge inflation to the 4.5% annual target. March 2026 headline inflation fell to 2.94%, near the floor of the tolerance range, while core inflation accelerated to ~3.5%; the July statement flagged elevated global uncertainty. The easing cycle began July 2025 from a 9.25% peak (reached with the April 2025 hike).
