Mexico Unexpectedly Cuts Key Rate, Offers Dollar Auctions

 

Banxico reduces rate by half point to 6.50% ahead of meeting. Will lower reserve requirements to help face outbreak impact.

 

Mexicoโ€™s central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point on Friday and said it was taking additional liquidity measures to support the economy that is seen slumping into recession with the coronovirus outbreak.

 

Banxico cut its main rate to 6.5% from 7% after an unscheduled board meeting, the bank said in a statement on its website. One member of the board voted for smaller, quarter point cut, it said.

 

Mexico joins a wave of monetary stimulus as policy makers in every continent seek to shield their economies from a global downturn that analysts see as increasingly likely. The move follows a decision by Peru to also cut its key rate in a surprise move Thursday and comes before Banxicoโ€™s scheduled meeting for March 26. โ€œGlobal and domestic financial markets have been subject to high volatility over the last weeks due to the uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on world economic activity, and to the recent fall in international oil prices. In this context, foreign exchange and fixed income markets in Mexico have undergone significant adjustments, lower liquidity, and a deterioration of trading conditions,โ€ Banxico said in the statement. The bank also said it would take additional measures such as reducing reserve requirements for banks, and offering dollar auctions. The Mexican peso, the worldโ€™s worst major currency in the past month, extended losses and headed to a record low close after the unexpected move
