Monetary Policy Conduction in Mexico The conduction of the monetary policy seeks to ensure the stability of the national currency s purchasing power. This, ensuring that it is achieved at the lowest cost to society in terms of economic activity, at all times. As a result of Banco de Mexico s effort to curb inflation, during convergence of inflation to its permanent 3 percent target has been achieved. Moreover, during 2Q, it even reached its historic minimum levels and has recently remained below the target. The above took place in a context in which the pass-through of the exchange rate depreciation onto prices has been limited, mainly reflected in the prices of durable goods, and without contaminating prices of non-tradable goods and services. April-June 3
The convergence of inflation to its target has been achieved in a particularly complex environment, given the circumstances faced by the monetary policy. Domestic Environment: Low growth rate of economic activity. Favorable inflation evolution. International Environment: High volatility in international financial markets. The imminent beginning of the normalization of the U.S. monetary policy. Well-anchored long-term inflation expectations and reductions in the short-term ones. Lower commodity prices, in particular crude oil prices. A considerable depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. April-June

Risks to Inflation Forecast : Downward Upward A still lower than expected dynamism of economic activity. That the depreciation of the Mexican peso increases and affects non-tradable goods prices, which could contaminate inflation expectations.

Monetary Policy Stance Domestic conditions The cyclical conditions of the economy continue to show weakness, inflation has remained below 3 percent and inflation expectations are well-anchored. External conditions Federal Reserve possible monetary policy actions could have further repercussions on the exchange rate, inflation expectations, and, therefore, on the price dynamics in Mexico. Hence, Banco de México s Board of Governors will monitor the performance of all inflation determinants and its expectations in the medium and long term, in particular: The performance of the exchange rate. The monetary policy stance of Mexico relative to the U.S. The evolution of the degree of slack in the economy. All of the above, in order to be able to take the necessary measures, flexibly and when needed, to consolidate the convergence of inflation to the 3 percent target. April-June 37
Challenges to Strengthen Confidence in the Mexican Economy ❶ In light of a complex international environment and the expectation that it will persist in the future, it is of key to preserve a solid macroeconomic framework. The structural strengthening of public finances is required, which becomes more relevant given a significant decrease in crude oil prices and production. In particular, it is necessary that the public debt to GDP ratio stabilizes at sustainable levels in the medium and long term. ❷ Higher and sustainable growth rates. In order to achieve this it is necessary to increase the productivity, which, in turn, requires clear progress in the implementation of structural reforms. ❸ The strength of institutions is crucial to back a good functioning of the economy. For this reason Mexico should make an additional effort to strengthen the institutions and the rule of law. April-June 38
