Key points

• Key points:
• The loss of dynamism in food spending represents the largest contraction since June 2021, and suggests effects on consumption derived from higher inflation.
• The weakness in tourism services suggests a recomposition of households demand for essential goods and services, amid high price levels and a more restrictive monetary policy.
• Although household spending has been favored by a gradual recovery of the credit portfolio and the continuous growth of the wage bill, these factors could lose dynamism in the coming quarters given the tightening of monetary conditions and a lower domestic demand.
