The 2018=100 volume index reached 110.5. The July reading was 6% higher than in the same month a year earlier. The bulletin was released on October 5 and identifies its estimates as preliminary.","The components behind the monthly increase did not move in the same direction. Spending on machinery and equipment, combining domestic and imported items, rose 4.5%, while construction spending fell 1.5%. In the year-on-year comparison, construction increased 6.9% and machinery and equipment increased 4.9%. The rise in the overall index therefore does not mean that every type of investment expanded month to month.","The component detail also differed by origin and asset type. In seasonally adjusted monthly data, domestic machinery and equipment rose 1.1%, while imported machinery and equipment rose 6%. Within construction, residential spending increased 0.7% and non-residential construction declined 3.9%. Year on year, imported equipment was up 9.9%, while domestic equipment was down 3.1%. These are real percentage changes in a volume indicator, not nominal spending totals or counts of new projects.","INEGI’s monthly gross fixed capital formation indicator tracks investment in fixed assets used continuously in production for more than a year. It covers components such as construction, machinery and equipment, and is published as a monthly volume index within the national accounts system. The measure therefore does not by itself capture all capital flows, purchases of financial assets or individual companies’ investment decisions. Its purpose is to track short-term movement.","The bulletin also provides an original series that has not been seasonally adjusted and uses a different comparison window. On that basis, total gross fixed capital formation rose 6.6% year on year in July and was 1.7% higher cumulatively from January through July. The 6% annual change in the seasonally adjusted series compares July with earlier years after adjustment. The two rates describe different statistical presentations and should not be used interchangeably.","In the original series broken down by purchaser, private fixed investment rose 6.7% year on year in July and public investment increased 6.2%. For January through July, private investment was up 0.4% and public investment rose 10.2%. These cumulative rates are preliminary. The differences among components show why the monthly headline alone does not explain where investment growth came from.","INEGI says the indicator is a national 2018-based volume index. Its calculation combines sources such as construction and manufacturing surveys, foreign trade data, automotive industry information and administrative records. Seasonal adjustment uses econometric methods; the institute notes that adjusted series for the main aggregates and their components are calculated independently. That methodological detail helps explain why the total and component growth rates may not add up exactly.","The July result shows that the monthly investment measure increased after the previous month and remained positive in the annual comparison. The opposing movements in machinery and construction, as well as the gap between domestic and imported equipment, remain relevant to the reading. The figures are not a forecast of future investment; they are a statistical measure for July that may be revised in later releases.
