Overview

  • At a centenary event in Mexico City’s MIDE, President Claudia Sheinbaum and Governor Victoria Rodríguez Ceja hailed Banxico’s role in stability and unveiled a commemorative plaque.
  • Banxico issued a limited silver 10‑peso coin of two troy ounces and temporary legal‑tender banknotes bearing the legend “100 Aniversario 1925‑2025,” available via authorized distributors and bank exchange.
  • Sheinbaum pressed for greater access to responsible credit for families, entrepreneurs and SMEs, citing Mexico’s low credit-to-GDP ratio and calling for coordinated action by Banxico, SHCP and public and private banks.
  • The president also urged faster financial digitalization and broader internet access, framing innovation in payments and banking services as tools for inclusion.
  • With headline inflation at 3.49% in mid‑August and the policy rate at 7.75% after a 25 bp cut, Banxico signaled cautious, data‑dependent easing as officials stressed autonomy and flagged external risks including tariffs and market volatility.
