Quarterly Report October-December 2019

During 2019, the world economy continued to decelerate. This reflected the impact of: 1) prolonged trade tensions;2) high geopolitical risks, and 3) certain idiosyncratic factors in several economies. Although some of these riskssubsided, others have emerged such as the coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19).

Index 01-Jan-2018=100

Note: The risk appetite index compares several financial assets, taking into accountthat in periods of high appetite for higher risk assets, such as equities of advancedand emerging economies, these tend to register high returns, while safe assets, suchas government bonds of the United States, the euro area and Japan, tend to presentnegative returns. On the other hand, during periods of low appetite for risk, theopposite occurs. In this context, the index value refers to the coefficient of aregression of the daily yield of 64 assets based on their volatility.Source: Credit Suisse.

1/ The financial conditions index is constructed based on the effect of five variableson economic activity: the reference interest rate, the 10-year government bond, thespread of the bonds with investment grade on the government debt bond withequivalent maturity, the ratio of the stock index with average earnings of 10-yearequities and the trade weighted exchange rate.Source: Banco de México with Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs data.

Percentage Distribution of Responses from Analysts and Business Representatives when Consulted on theThree Main Factors that Could Hinder Economic Activity Growth in the Next Six Months 1/

InflationPublic finances

External conditionsGovernance 2/

Domestic economic conditions 3/ OtherMonetary policy

Among the factors that business representatives and analysts consider that could limit growth those relatedto governance stand out. Progress in addressing certain problems that have affected the economy for years,such as the rule of law (corruption, insecurity and impunity), would foster an environment that would allowfor incentivizing growth.

During 2019, annual headline inflation decreased significantly, particularly during the 2H-2019, reaching levelsconsistent with the 3% target at the end of Q3 and during Q4 2019. This was mainly due to the decrease in non-core inflation, given that the core index, which better reflects medium-term pressures on prices, showedpersistence at levels above the target, although with slight reductions.

Non-core Price SubindexAnnual % change

The annual average non-core inflation level during Q4 2019 was the lowest on record for a quarter, and wasaffected by a lower annual change of agricultural and livestock prices, and of energy prices. However, since thebeginning of 2020, this component increased due to a higher annual change in fruit and vegetable prices anddue to the comparison base in gasoline prices.

Forecasts are slightly adjusted upwards starting from Q2 2020, due to: 1) an upward revision in non-core inflation (due tohigher agricultural and livestock prices that are partially offset by lower increases in energy prices); 2) effect of wageincreases, partly offset by an expectation of wider slack conditions.

Annual headline inflation is expected to lie at 3% starting in Q1 2021.

Final remarks

Quarterly Report October-December 2019 37

The global economy continued to decelerate.

World financial conditions remain loose, although volatility has been observed.

Although several risks for the global economic outlook have diminished, others have emerged such as thecoronavirus outbreak.

In Mexico, annual headline inflation decreased considerably in H2 2019, although, as anticipated, it reboundedat the beginning of 2020.

Slack conditions widened more than anticipated.

Annual headline inflation is expected to lie at 3% in Q1 2021, remaining at levels consistent with the inflationtarget in the rest of the forecast horizon.

Economic activity in Mexico is expected to begin its recovery.

It is key to boost confidence in the country, strengthen the economy’s fundamentals, and address the obstaclesthat have prevented the economy from achieving greater medium-term growth.

Generate incentives that foster a higher efficiency in resource allocation.

Strengthen the rule of law.
