Our partner, Pablo Perezalonso, along with associates Isabel Ortiz Monasterio and Alejandro Mosqueda, co-authored the "Law & Practice" and "Trends & Developments" sections of the Mexico chapter in Chambers' Banking Regulation 2025 guide.
The "Law & Practice" section provides a comprehensive analysis of the current laws and regulations governing Mexico’s banking and financial sector, covering key topics such as:
- Legal Framework
- Authorization
- Changes in Control
- Governance
- AML/KYC
- Depositor Protection
- Prudential Regime
- Insolvency, Recovery and Resolution
- ESG
- DORA
- Horizon Scanning
In addition, our experts offer an in-depth analysis in the “Trends & Developments” section, focusing on recent regulatory changes in repo operations and highlighting their impact on Mexico's legal and economic landscape. These modifications not only aim to remove longstanding legal obstacles that have historically constrained the market but also seek to foster a more robust marketplace, creating new opportunities for more participants to offer repo solutions to their clients. Moreover, Mexico could position itself as a leader among emerging economies in the repo market, setting an example of how legal reforms can significantly encourage and develop financial markets.
Some of the key factors shaping Mexico's regulatory landscape include:
- The modernization of Mexico’s repo market, driven by Banco de México’s Circular 7/2024, aligning local practices with international standards.
- The removal of certain legal barriers that have hindered the development of the local repo market.
- Expanding the number of entities participating in repo operations in Mexico.
