Mexico cuts rates for first time in five years

Friday, August 16, 2019


Mexico’s central bank cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in more than five years, reducing the overnight rate from 8.25 to 8 per cent.

The bank said the decision is due to the decline in general inflation in recent months and weak domestic growth, as well as the recent US Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cut, the Financial Times reports.
