Mexico's central bank maintains confidence in the nation's financial system, despite notable economic challenges such as market volatility and potential trade conflicts. In its latest financial stability report, Banxico credits the stability to robust institutions and capital levels surpassing regulatory requirements.

The financial report highlights the significant volatility faced by Mexican markets, particularly in the second half of the year, influenced by electoral events in both Mexico and the U.S. Additionally, uncertainty regarding U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexican imports has contributed to economic concerns.

Despite these challenges, the Mexican economy has shown resilience, handling market changes in an orderly manner. However, the report warns that unexpected events could disrupt this stability. The trend of nearshoring, bringing manufacturing closer to the U.S., is recognized as a positive factor supporting economic integration and bank credit growth.
