Although overall, the consumer confidence fell by one percent in November, compared to October, the Inegi highlights that there was a decrease by 6.7 points compared to 2019.
The figures also evidence the impact of an upsurge of the COVID-19 pandemic just when the country started to show the first signs of economic recovery as businesses began to reopen.
