Mexico's national consumer price index grew 0.26% monthly in September, bringing inflation for the year through September to 3.00%, according to data from national statistics agency INEGI.
The annual inflation is in line with Banco de México's target of 3%, with a 1% above-and-below tolerance threshold.
The latest figures were lower than those in the year-ago month, with the monthly variation then clocking in at 0.42% and the annual increase at 5.02%.
The core index, which removes the effects of some volatile food and energy prices, advanced 0.30% monthly and 3.75% annually in September.
The Mexican central bank recently reduced its benchmark interest rate for the second time this year, citing a continued decline in inflation.
