Overview
- Asofom announced at its 20th national convention in Cancún that it is working to structure debt packages to draw large institutional investors to Sofomes.
- The planned offerings are being sized at roughly MXN 5,000–10,000 million and may be issued as joint vehicles that group several Sofomes or as individual transactions.
- Asofom is coordinating with development banks such as FIRA and Nafin plus multilateral lenders including the Inter‑American Development Bank and the IFC to help structure deals and lower investor risk.
- The drive for institutional capital follows rapid sector growth: Asofom now groups about 255 Sofomes that together report a portfolio near MXN 192,000 million while roughly 500 new Sofomes appear each year.
- The initiative is still in planning with no issuance dates or final deal mechanics announced and its success will depend on clear governance, anti‑money‑laundering controls, credit enhancements and ESG standards that convince Afores to invest.
