Overview

  • At a ceremony in Mexico City’s MIDE, President Claudia Sheinbaum joined Governor Victoria Rodríguez Ceja to commemorate Banxico’s centenary and reaffirm the institution’s role.
  • Banxico issued a limited silver coin with a 10‑peso face value and two troy ounces of 0.999 silver and released temporary legal‑tender banknotes bearing the “100 Aniversario 1925‑2025” legend.
  • The coin will be sold through authorized distributors such as Casa de Moneda de México and the MIDE, while the commemorative banknotes can be obtained at banks at face value.
  • Sheinbaum called for a more competitive financial system with broader access to responsible credit and faster digitalization to reach families, entrepreneurs and small businesses.
  • Policy context featured a recent 25‑basis‑point rate cut to 7.75%, inflation at 3.49% within target and guidance for gradual further reductions as Banxico balances autonomy with risks from market volatility, trade policies and technological change.
