Mexico Banking Outlook. First half 2022

Key points

• Key points:
• The banking system maintains adequate levels of capital and liquidity, while its profitability recovers due to a lower need to generate provisions.
• The accounting effect of a higher inflation overstates the performance of bank financing in nominal figures.
• The reactivation of economic activity and the rise in consumer confidence have led to the recovery of consumer credit segments.
• Traditional banking deposits regain dynamism, albeit higher consumption and the lack of recovery of term savings could slow down their growth.
• Financing flows to the economy waned, while the public sector maintains the largest proportion of its use.
