This is the third slashing of the benchmark interest rate by Banxico this year. The latest figures from Mexico's national statistics institute (Inegi) for its indicator of monthly global economic activity (Igae) show that it contracted by 0.4% in August 2019 compared with the same month in 2018. Mexico’s stock exchange (BMV) reacted positively to Banxico’s move, rising by 0.21% on 14 November following the announcement.
