Mexico inflation seen 4.86 pct in 2010-cenbank poll

MEXICO CITY Dec 1 (Reuters) - Analysts' expectations for Mexican 2010 inflation increased after lawmakers gave final approval to a series of tax hikes, a central bank survey showed on Tuesday.

The monthly poll of economists and analysts in late November said they expect inflation to rise to 4.86 percent in 2010 compared to a forecast of 4.54 percent in the prior month's poll.

Analysts expect the economy to grow 2.9 percent in 2010, the same as in October's poll. (Reporting by Jason Lange) ((jason.lange@thomsonreuters.com; +52 55 5282 7153; Reuters Messaging: jason.lange.reuters.com@reuters.net))
