Conduction of Monetary Policy

2

During 2016, the Mexican economy faced a complex environment, characterized by high volatility asa consequence of uncertainty regarding the process of the monetary policy normalization in the U.S.and the electoral process that took place in that country and its outcome, among other factors.

The impact of this environment on domestic financial markets was notorious at the end of theyear and in early 2017. The Mexican peso observed high volatility and a number of episodes ofdepreciation, while peso-denominated interest rates increased across all terms.

As of the end of January, these variables notably reverted their trajectories. The monetary policyactions have contributed to a better performance of the exchange rate, as well as the measures

announced by the Foreign Exchange Commission.

Furthermore, in early 2017 inflation was affected by the liberalization of energy prices, inparticular, gasoline prices.

The actions of the Board of Governors have been seeking to better anchor inflation expectations in thischallenging environment.

November, 2016 50 bp increment to 5.25 percent.

Quarterly Report October - December 2016

Thus, in order to prevent the price formation process in the economy from contaminating, to anchorinflation expectations, and to reassure inflation convergence to its target, the Board of Governorsdecided to increase the target for the Overnight Interbank Interest Rate.

These actions were carried out so that the adjustment in relative prices derivedfrom the real exchange rate depreciation, and, in the case of the latter decision, alsofrom the impact generated by the liberalization of gasoline prices, would take placein an orderly manner.

It should be pointed out that:

Even though the impact of the liberalization of energyprices onto inflation in the short term was significant,it is expected to be transitory.

This measure represents progress in strengtheningthe macroeconomic fundamentals of the country, as itreduces the vulnerabilities it represents for publicfinances, given that maintaining public pricesmisaligned to their international reference is notsustainable.

In this context, and in view of the temporary shocks that are expected to affect inflation this year, inflationexpectations increased across all terms, even though they fundamentally still reflect a transitory increment ininflation, as medium- and long-term expectations increased to a much lesser extent as compared to short-termones.

In light of the outcome of the U.S. elections and the risk of adjustments in the Mexico-U.S. relations, theexchange rate and its volatility went up, while more recently the Mexican peso has considerably appreciated.To this development, monetary policy actions have contributed significantly, as well as the measuresannounced by the Foreign Exchange Commission.

That the implementation of structural reforms would render greater-than-expected results.

Risks to the Growth Outlook

Upward:

That, given the recent depreciation of the exchange rate, non-oil exports would present a morenotorious reactivation.

That the implementation of the expansionary fiscal policy in the U.S. would have a net positiveimpact on the Mexican industrial production and on the transfer of workers’ remittances to thecountry.

That the forthcoming negotiations of the Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. would reach afavorable outcome.

Downward:

That different enterprises would decide to cancel or postpone their investment plans in light of therecent events in the U.S.

That a highly protectionist trade or fiscal policy would be implemented in the U.S., leading to afurther deterioration of consumers’ and businesses’ confidence.

Risks to the Growth Outlook

That the rating agencies would reduce the credit rating of the country, affecting investment flowsto Mexico.

That workers’ remittances to Mexico would be lower than expected, possibly as a consequence ofthe policies impeding their transfers or of a lower level of employment among Mexicans in the U.S.

That episodes of high volatility in international financial markets would be observed.

Further reductions in different prices of theeconomy, as a consequence of structuralreforms.

That inflation expectations would rise evenfurther as a consequence of a furtherdepreciation of the national currency, or that,given the already observed depreciation, its pass-through onto prices would increase.

Higher prices of agricultural goods, even thoughtheir impact onto inflation would tend to betransitory.

The monetary authority at all times considers that its actions affect the price formation process ofthe economy with a certain lag.

Monetary Policy Stance

In this sense, trying to offset, in the very short term, the shocks that temporarily affect inflationby adjusting the reference rate, would be inefficient and costly in terms of economic activity.

However, through its actions, the Central Bank seeks to prevent the various supply shockspreviously mentioned from contaminating the price formation process in the economy.

Thus, this Central Institute will monitor that the referred increments in the reference rate and thosethat could be required in 2017 should be reflected in the dynamics of future inflation.

This will be done considering that the main challenge faced by the Board of Governors in the futureis to prevent second round effects onto inflation and to maintain medium- and long-terminflation expectations anchored.

Quarterly Report October - December 2016 39

Monetary Policy Stance

The Board of Governors will closely monitor the evolution of all inflation determinants and itsmedium- and long-term expectations.

→ This will be done in order to be able to continue taking the necessary measures to consolidate theefficient convergence of inflation to its 3.0 percent target.

Especially, the potential pass-through of exchange rate adjustments and gasoline prices onto therest of the prices.
