In Mexico, the Monthly Survey of Business Opinion (EMOE) measures the expectations of business executives regarding production, capacity utilization, employment and inventories, in the short, medium and long run. The survey also trials the expectations concerning the general economic environment and how it may affect business activity. The EMOE has a national coverage and it is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, where levels above 50 indicate optimism, 50 neutrality and below 50 pessimism.

Mexico's manufacturing business confidence fell to 48.5 in April 2025, from a downwardly revised 49.7 in the previous month, amid tensions triggered by US tariffs. This marks the lowest level since April 2021 and the second consecutive month below the 50-point threshold, indicating growing pessimism.
