Changes and ranks are calculated from unrounded readings, so a change can differ by 0.1 from the difference of the rounded figures shown, and economies with the same rounded reading can hold different ranks.
WRI’s assessment
Mexico’s Logistics Growth Index moved into contraction in October, falling 3.0 points to 49.6 from a revised 52.7 in September and dropping below its three-month average of 50.9. The deterioration was led by business volume and warehousing, as one factory survey showed output declining at its quickest pace in six months alongside weakening new order growth.
“Mexico’s logistics activity shrank in October as manufacturers reported falling output, which suggests warehouses handled less. Seaborne freight was broadly stable before truckers protested late in the month, but longer waits at two ports tightened transport capacity.”
