Mexican central bank seen pushing key rate to record 9.25% – Reuters poll
The Bank of Mexico is expected to raise its key interest rate to a record 9.25% this week, a Reuters poll showed Monday, following in the steps of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent 75 basis points hike in a bid to tackle stubbornly high inflation. All 20 analysts polled expect Banxico, as the central bank is known, to raise its benchmark rate on Thursday by three-quarters of a percentage point from 8.50%, in what would be the bank’s third-consecutive increase of this size. “In an environment in which pessimism in the financial markets continues, given expectations of greater tightening by the Fed, we believe that Banxico will continue to try to remain cautious, contributing to greater local stability,” said Grupo Financiero Banorte.
