Tijuana inflation at 1.84%: easing pressure does not mean low prices
The annual rate describes the pace of change, not the cost of each purchase.
Local coverage of INEGI figures put Tijuana’s annual inflation at 1.84% in August 2026, describing easing pressure in some food and service categories compared with August 2025.
The consumer price index tracks changes in a representative basket. A positive rate, even a lower one, means the compared level remains above the earlier level, not that all prices fell. Each household buys a different mix.
