(Energy Analytics Institute, 3.Oct.2022) — Inflationary pressures, low economic growth, higher interest rates and investment uncertainty led to the fourth consecutive deterioration of business confidence in Mexico, the daily La Jornada reported on 3 October 2022, citing data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi by its Spanish acronym).
