MEXICO CITY, June 5 (Reuters) - Mexico's consumer confidence index MXCONC=ECI edged up in May to 107.3 points from 106.3 points in April, the government said on Tuesday.

The index showed more people saw Mexico's economy in a healthier state a year into the future and considered it improved from a year earlier than they did in April. People also felt better able to buy big-ticket durable goods.

But fewer people felt their own family's financial well-being had improved in the past year or expected it to get better a year into the future.
