MEXICO
- The flash estimate for Q1 GDP will be published at 1300BST(0800ET), with analysts expecting economic output to have edged up by 0.1% over the quarter, matching a 0.1% q/q increase in Q4. In annual terms, growth is expected to have moderated to 2.3% y/y, from 2.5%. Analysts note that unfavourable calendar base effect due to the easter holidays would weigh on activity, offset to some extent by strong fiscal spending in the last two months of the quarter. The GDP data will be followed by March net outstanding loans at 1600BST and public balance figures for March.
