Overview

  • Banxico put into circulation a limited silver 10‑peso coin of two troy ounces (.999) and transitional banknotes bearing the legend “100 Aniversario 1925‑2025,” both legal tender.
  • The coin can be obtained through authorized distributors such as Casa de Moneda de México and the Museo Interactivo de Economía, while the banknotes are available at banks at face value.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum urged expanded access to responsible credit and greater financial digitalization, noting Mexico’s low credit-to-GDP ratio and stating recent rate cuts have not lifted inflation.
  • Finance Minister Edgar Amador Zamora invited Banxico to take a more active advisory role to the federal government given shifting global conditions, technology in payments, and evolving regulatory needs.
  • Governor Victoria Rodríguez Ceja underscored the bank’s credibility and autonomy as it targets price stability, with inflation at roughly 3.49% and the policy rate at 7.75% amid internal debate over further cuts.
