  • *Highlights include: "Among the most relevant global risks are the pandemic, delays in the vaccination programs, and a greater tightening of financing conditions."
  • "The Mexican peso depreciated and medium- and long-term interest rates increased. Mexico's economic activity decelerated in January and February and, although a greater boost from external demand is foreseen, ample slack conditions are expected throughout the forecast horizon."
  • "The anticipated paths for headline and core inflation in the short term are slightly above those foreseen in the last Quarterly Report"
  • "In a highly uncertain environment, the risks for inflation, economic activity and financial markets pose major challenges for monetary policy. It is necessary to enable an orderly adjustment of financial conditions and a change in relative prices, without affecting price formation and inflation expectations."
