Private consumption in Mexico showed positive growth in December 2023, surpassing initial projections and signaling a recovery in the tourism sector, particularly in services. This dynamic contrasts with INEGI’s estimates and highlights the divergence between spending on imports and domestically produced goods, indicating structural changes in household consumption habits. The relevance of this article for open data lies in the need to integrate heterogeneous sources to understand the economic reality. Official INEGI data must be complemented with private, real-time indicators, such as those provided by banks, to capture trends that traditional reports may overlook or misinterpret. Thus, the transparency and accessibility of both datasets are crucial to avoiding biases in macroeconomic analysis. The publication of open, standardized figures enables civil society and researchers to cross-reference information, improving forecast accuracy and fostering an informed public debate on the country’s economic health and the population’s purchasing power.
