Highlights include:
- Forecasts for headline and core inflation were revised upwards up to the second and third quarter of 2023, respectively, although convergence to the 3% target in the first quarter of 2024 is maintained
- More forceful measures to attain the inflation target may be considered.
All-in-all an inline with expectations decision, with rates rising by consensus, and inflation forecasts bumping higher. Important to note the convergence estimate was unchanged at Q1 2024 - was some danger of this slipping, and risk of minority of members voting for larger rises materialised. A broadly neutral release and that's reflected in stable MXN - USD/MXN last at 20.3070, flat on the day.
