A final GDP print is the least informative of the release sequence; the market has already absorbed the flash and preliminary readings, so revisions of this size, a tenth of a point against both consensus and the prior estimate, historically pass with negligible reaction in MXN and TIIE pricing. The marginal interest lies in what the confirmation implies for the growth trajectory Banxico is working with: the central bank has a track record of easing through soft growth when inflation permits, and confirmation that activity is running slightly below expectations reinforces the dovish side of that reaction function rather than challenging it. The distinction worth drawing is between headline growth and its composition, since consumption versus investment splits have mattered more for the policy debate than the top-line figure. Follow-ons are the subsequent inflation prints and Banxico minutes, where growth assessments of this kind feed directly into the balance-of-risks language. As a backward-looking confirmation, the signal is minimal.
