By large groups of economic activities, the GDP of tertiary activities rose 4.5%; that of secondary schools 3.7% and that of primary schools with 3.2%.
With the data from the third quarter, the Mexican economy ran six consecutive quarters with increases in GDP.
Regarding its quarterly increase, in the third quarter of 2022 and with seasonally adjusted figures, GDP increased 0.9% at a quarterly rate in real terms.

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN SEPTEMBER
The Inegi reported along with the revised GDP the data of the Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE).
