  • Mexico’s Banking System Is Resilient, But Global Risks Have Increased, IMF Says

    Date 30/03/2012

    Mexico’s financial system proved resilient during the first wave of the global financial crisis, but authorities will need to remain vigilant given the risk of spillovers from global shocks, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a new report. Although the country was hit hard by the crisis, with economic activity falling sharply in 2009 and financial markets experiencing severe stress, the broader system reacted well and spillovers were contained. In general, Mexico’s banks are profitable and well capitalized. Mexican authorities should take advantage of the economic recovery now underway to consolidate recent gains in the scope of financial sector supervision by establishing a fixed term for the President of the Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) and adjusting the composition of its Board, the IMF said in its latest Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) of Mexico, which was published today. The FSAP was conducted in cooperation with the World Bank.
