Yuna · Sep 26, 2026 · 1 min
Banxico’s decision to leave its key policy rate at 6.5% marked the third consecutive meeting with no change. The central bank signaled that it needs more evidence to confirm whether the recent slowdown in inflation is durable.
Policymakers are currently weighing the pace of disinflation against other macroeconomic risks. The bank indicated it is continuing to monitor economic data to make this determination.
The announcement did not include new quantitative projections or forward guidance beyond the immediate decision. The monetary stance remains at the level set in the prior meeting for the next policy cycle.
