Analysts raise Mexico inflation and growth outlook

    MEXICO CITY, March 1 (Reuters) - Analysts raised their
expectations for Mexican inflation and growth this year, a
central bank survey showed on Thursday.
    The bank kept its economic growth projections for this year
and next unchanged in a report released on Wednesday, but
flagged risks to the inflation outlook.
    The central bank targets inflation of 3 percent with a one
percentage point tolerance zone on each side.
