* Mexico’s central bank (Banxico) has reported that the country’s financial system, and in particular its banking sector, is solid and resilient almost two years on from the start of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. In a recent report on financial stability, Banxico also noted that Mexico’s economic recovery from the pandemic will continue in 2022, but at a more “moderate” rate and with “a certain degree of uncertainty”.
