De acuerdo con el instituto, la cifra representa una variación de 0.84 % respecto al mes anterior. En el mismo mes de 2021, la inflación mensual fue de 0,53 % y la anual, de 5,88%.

Mexico Statistics Body Criticized for Poverty Survey Changes

07/18/16 The New York Times

MEXICO CITY — Anti-poverty groups in Mexico accused the national statistics agency Monday of arbitrarily changing the way it measures income surveys so poverty appears to be less of a problem.

The statistics agency, known as the INEGI, defended the changes, saying it “improved” the way it measures income because it suspected people were underreporting what they earn.

The agency said it required its interviewers to dig deeper with people who reported no income, to turn up even the most meager sources of income like handouts, odd jobs or help from relatives. Those previously unregistered amounts were then added to the count in the survey, which was carried out late last year.

Mexico’s impoverished masses were up to 33.6% richer in 2015 than the previous year, according to the state-run statistics service.

But the change owes less to a sudden increase in actual wealth and wellbeing for the country’s poor than to unannounced changes in the methodology for measuring household earnings.

The changes make comparing poverty rates from one year to the next impossible – something acknowledged by the National Geography and Statistics Institute (Inegi).

Mexico’s homicide rate continued to drop in 2014

7/21/15 El Daily Post

There were 19,699 registered homicides in Mexico last year, 16 for every 100,000 residents.

That’s 16 percent fewer than the year before, when 19 homicides per 100,000 were registered. These figures, published this week by the National Statistics Institute (INEGI), are crunched from Civil Registry data and from information supplied by local prosecutors across the nation. Homicide-rate measured per 100,000 population is an international indicator used by the United Nations, as well as by INEGI since 1990. In Mexico’s case, they confirm that through 2014 at least, Mexico’s murder rate has been dropping since 2011. In raw numbers, the 19,699 registered homicides  in 2014 were 7,544 fewer than in 2011, 6,298 fewer than 2012 and 3,394 fewer than 2013.

The first two full years of the Peña Nieto administration (2013-14) registered, according to INEGI, 10,448 homicides fewer than what was registered in the last two years of his predecessor, Felipe Calderón.
