The
National Statistical Institute (INEGI, Instituto Nacional de
Estadística Geografía e Informática) reports:
In the
second quarter of the current year, domestic demand
expanded 2.5% in real terms compared with the
same period last year.
The
second quarter reading was influenced that Easter holidays fell in the
second quarter last year but in the first quarter this year. Consequently,
the second quarter 2002 counted more working days than the same period
last year (77 days in 2002 vs. 73 days in 2001).
