Bank of Mexico Policy Rate Unchanged
November 26, 2010
The overnight interbank funding rate will remain at 4.5%, the level since July 2009. Rate cuts totaling 375 basis points were implemented in each of the first seven months of last year. A new statement released today was less dovish than the one following the policy meeting in mid-October, noting that the output gap has been shrinking and that inflation has risen lately. Such was 3.7% higher in September than a year earlier. That said, officials do not seem anxious to lift rates just yet. Export demand is somewhat less dynamic, and overall growth has moderated. Core inflation remains contained.
