It unequivocally signaled that it remains set to keep cutting rates steadily ahead and hinted that in the absence of any major events, it is likely to consider additional 50bp cuts at upcoming meetings.
February 5, 2025
Below 4.0% inflation, easing core services inflation, softer aggregate demand, a cooling labor market, a peso that continues to hold up, and an overly restrictive monetary policy stance, keep the door wide open for a larger 50bp cut.

Mexico received 64,745 million dollars (md) in remittances in 2024, +2.3% compared to 2023 when 63,319 md were received. Remittances reach a new historical maximum in 2024 and accumulate a streak of 11 consecutive years of growth, which began in 2014.

However, we think that the best timing to cut the policy rate by 50 bps was today, since the window will likely close early next year if Trump imposes tariffs and a context of global risk aversion hits the peso, turning Banxico even more cautious.

Although we think there is a 40% chance of a 50bp cut, the Board will most likely end sticking to another 25bp cut. A 50bp rate cut would be a sound policy decision considering the excessively restrictive real ex-ante rate and the progress of disinflation.

A majority will remain determined to continue the easing cycle over the coming months, but we now expect Banxico to lower the policy rate to 8.00% by the end of next year (up from our previous 7.50% forecast).

In a backdrop of an “improving” inflation outlook and worsening growth prospects, a majority of members seem to think the central bank has ample wiggle room to cut rates. The forward guidance now strongly suggests that Banxico is set to embark in a streak of consecutive rate cuts ahead.
September 24, 2024
In view of the lags of monetary policy, we think that Banxico is already late in adjusting the excessively high real ex-ante rate, and thus, the monetary policy stance is set to continue to weigh on the economy in the coming quarters.
August 9, 2024
Banxico looked past the jump in headline inflation, rightly so in our view, with core inflation easing and cut the policy rate by 25bp to 10.75%, as we anticipated. It anticipates that lower inflation pressures may allow further rate cuts going forward.
August 6, 2024
Our base case is a split 3-2 vote in favor of a 25bp rate cut to 10.75% with a majority of members acknowledging a weakening economy and increased confidence about the inflation outlook, but the sudden peso depreciation following the weekend’s global volatility bout represents a risk to our call.
June 28, 2024
Board members voted 4-1 to hold rates steady at 11.00%. The fact that the decision wasn’t unanimous came as a bit of surprise considering the recent peso weakening and that Banxico was set to revise up its short-term headline inflation forecasts.
