Mexico: COVID-19 impact on average household spending 2020-2021

Approximately five to six of every ten Mexicans decreased their level of spending in the months after the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown, in comparison to their average spending, according to a series of surveys carried out between May, 2020, and March, 2021. In contrast, approximately four out of every ten consumers reduced their spending by the beginning of 2021.On February 29, 2020 the first two cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Mexico were reported. As a result of the outbreak, the government installed a federal lockdown mandate known as 'Jornada de sana distancia', which was in place between March 23 and May 20, 2020.

根据2020年5月至2021年3月间进行的一系列调查，大约每十个墨西哥人中约有五到六个在COVID-19封锁开始后的几个月内，其消费水平相较于平均水平有所降低。相较之下，至2021年初，大约每十个消费者中有四个人的支出有所减少。2020年2月29日，墨西哥首次报告了两例冠状病毒（COVID-19）病例。疫情爆发后，政府实施了名为“健康社交距离日”的联邦封锁令，该封锁令自2020年3月23日至5月20日生效。
