The Centro de Economía y Competitividad (CEC) released the results of the Ciudad Juárez Economic Monitoring System Dashboard for the second quarter of 2026, which show a mixed picture for the local economy. While inflation and the real estate market reached "very favorable" levels, industrial activity remains "very unfavorable," with a loss of 10,916 jobs in the IMMEX sector.
Despite these challenges, there is significant progress: local GDP narrowed its year-over-year contraction from -1.05% to -0.37%, and inflation has declined steadily for five consecutive months. New business openings also grew 18% compared with the same quarter of 2025, reflecting entrepreneurial dynamism in the city.
