Executive Summary
- Banxico’s governing board cut the overnight rate by a further 50bp to 8.50% in a unanimous decision, as was widely expected.
- The Board continued to emphasise the weakness of economic growth amid the uncertain external backdrop and signalled further rate cuts ahead, potentially of a similar magnitude.
- Analysts expect the Board to deliver another 50bp cut in June, with year-end rate forecasts currently ranging between 7.0-8.0%.
