Economic and Financial Environment

Since the end of February, the economic and financial environment has become significantlyadverse and even more complex due to the challenges and risks asociated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the pandemic began to spread to a larger number of countries and lockdown and socialdistancing measures were adopted to contain the virus, world economic activity andinternational financial markets have been significantly affected.

A global economic crisis, unprecedented in several decades, has started to materialize dueto several characteristics such as having a sanitary rather than an economic cycle orfinancial origin, and the abrupt nature of its impact on the real sector and how it hasrapidly spread worldwide.

This has had, and is expected to continue having, important repercussions on financialmarkets, productive activity, and the inflation process in Mexico.

The measures to contain thevirus spread such asshutdowns of manufacturingproduction and thesuspension of severalservices, have led to a declinein supply.

These events have put at riskthe functioning of global valuechains and the supply of inputsfor domestic production.

Given the global spread of thepandemic, the Mexicaneconomy faces lower externaldemand.

Also, social distancingmeasures and firms andhouseholds’ lower incomesare leading to a contraction ofdomestic demand.

Higher risk aversion ininternational financial marketsand falling oil pricescontributed to:

Major tightening of externalfinancing and capital outflows.

Higher interest rates and riskpremia.

A significant depreciation of theMexican peso.

In the present juncture, the Mexican economy faces a combination of differentsimultaneous shocks of considerable magnitude.

Three main channels of transmission are identified:

Note: The risk appetite index compares several financial assets, taking into account that inperiods of high appetite for riskier assets, such as equities of advanced and emergingeconomies, these tend to register high returns, while safe assets, such as governmentbonds of the United States, the euro area and Japan, tend to present negative returns. Onthe other hand, during periods of low risk appetite, the opposite occurs. In this context, theindex value refers to the coefficient of a regression of the daily yield of 64 assets based ontheir volatility.Source: Credit Suisse.

1/ The VIX index is a weighted indicator that measures implied volatility in theoptions’ market for S&P 500.2/ Includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France,Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Holland, New Zealand, Norway,Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the UnitedStates.Source: Bloomberg.

3/ The financial conditions index is constructed based on the effect of five variables oneconomic 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 data.

The effects of the pandemic can be seen in the recent evolution of inflation. Significant falls in gasoline pricesexerted downward pressure on non-core inflation, although in F1-May these prices somewhat reverted. Coreinflation, on the other hand, seems to be affected by changes in the relative demand for different goods andservices. In that context, in F1-May annual headline inflation laid at 2.83% and core inflation at 3.76%.

Social distancing measures have led to a decline in services prices, particularly of tourism, although this is also evident in other line items such as food prices. In contrast, the prices of certain goods have been subject to upward pressures, which may have increased their demand as a result of the health crisis. Among these are food, medicines and household products.

Economic Activity Forecasts

Quarterly Report January-March 2020 35

The fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is still underway both globally and domestically generates a high levelof uncertainty for any forecast for economic activity:

Uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the lockdown measures.

In light of an eventual easing or lifting of lockdown measures, there is the risk of second-round spreads.

The timing as to when there could be an effective treatment or vaccine is still uncertain.

Given such uncertainty, a forecast baseline scenario for economic activity like the one usually publishedby Banco de México in its quarterly reports might suggest a higher level of precision to what the currentconditions of available information allow for attaining.

Constructing various scenarios on the posible behavior of productive activity, based on differentassumptions on the depth and duration of the consequences of the pandemic, might provide a betteroutlook of GDP for 2020 and 2021 (several central banks have adopted a similar strategy).

Inflation Forecasts

The uncertainty generated by the COVID-19 pandemic on the behavior of different economic andfinancial variables implies that the magnitude and duration of the shocks affecting inflation is alsouncertain.

Based on the trajectories of the macroeconomic variables resulting from the different scenariosdescribed in the economic growth section, paths for inflation for the forecast horizon wereelaborated. Said trajectories reflect the downward and upward pressures that inflation wouldface under diferent scenarios.

Said pressures are:

To the downside, the significant widening of the negative output gap, which differs in magnitudeand depth among scenarios, as well as the fall in energy prices.

To the upside, the depreciation of the foreign exchange rate, which also differs among scenarios, and

posible disruptions to the production and distribution chains of several goods and services.

Said pressures tend to counteract among themselves in different directions.

Although the trajectories for inflation reveal higher uncertainty than those published in previousinflation reports, they also show a lower dispersion than that for economic activity scenarios.

Annual headline inflation is expected to lay within Banco de México’s variability interval during the larger part of theforecast horizon, and to locate around the inflation target by the end of said horizon.

Core inflation is expected to be higher than previously anticipated up to H1-2021 due to its high persistence, the foreignexchange rate depreciation, and pressures due to the lockdown measures, while for H2-2021 it is expected to be below 3%due to the effects of the greater economic slack.

Inflation Forecasts

From the inflation forecasts resulting from the three scenarios, the minimum and maximum levelthat inflation would reach in each of the quarterly estimates of the forecast horizon was obtained,for both headline and core inflation.

If inflation locates at the center of these intervals, the following trajectories would be observed:

Risks to Inflation Outlook within the Forecast Horizon The balance of risks for inflation remains uncertain

Greater slackness and a lower demand for certain goods and services than the expected.

Downward pressures on all types of imported goods and inputs in response to the global slack conditions.

Falls in energy prices intensifying or becoming permanent.

That the appreciation of the exchange rate continues.

41

Downward risks

Quarterly Report January-March 2020

Greater demand for certain goods due to the health contingency.

Greater or more persistent depreciation of the exchange rate.

Disruptions in the production chains.

Cost pressures associated with the pandemic.

Upward risks

Considering the magnitude of the shocks that are currently being faced, there could be nonlinearities or additional effectsthat might exert greater pressures on inflation, both to downside and to the upside.

Page 43: Presentación de PowerPoint · Economic and Financial Environment Since the end of February, the economic and financial environment has become significantly adverse and even more

Final Remarks Banco de México will take the necessary actions based on incoming information and considering

the strong impact on production activity, as well as on the evolution of the financial shock faced bythe economy, in such a way that the policy rate is consistent with the orderly and sustainedconvergence of headline inflation to its target in the time frame in which monetary policyoperates.

In the current juncture, Banco de México is particularly attentive to promoting the sounddevelopment of the financial system and fostering the well-functioning of the payments system.

Thus, additional measures have been taken to promote the orderly behavior of financial markets,strengthen the provision of credit and to supply liquidity, strictly complying with the legalframework and in coordination with other financial authorities.

Perseverance in strengthening the macroeconomic fundamentals and adopting the necessaryactions, regarding both monetary and fiscal policies, will contribute to a better adjustment ofdomestic financial markets and of the economy as a whole.

The microeconomic functioning of the economy needs to be strengthened and domesticeconomic uncertainty must be reduced in order to improve the country’s business climateperception.
