Regional Expectations Survey

9. In May 2026, the regional perception survey was conducted with coverage of 285 companies operating in the different regions of the country.

With respect to the April survey, an increase was recorded in most current situation indicators in all zones. Likewise, a decrease was recorded in most expectations indicators in the north and center zones, while the south zone shows recovery. All expectations indicators remained in the optimistic range in the north and south zones, except for the economy at 3 months in the south zone.
