Mexican banking sector liquidity and deposit trends
Overview
The Mexican banking sector has faced challenges regarding liquidity, profitability, and deposit growth. In late July 2026, regional bank Banregio faced scrutiny from analysts following a reduction in its 2026 guidance, citing risks such as tighter net interest margins and slower returns on branch expansions. During the same period, the Bank of Mexico reported a $34 million drop in international reserves, while a record federal treasury deposit of $623 billion removed significant liquidity from the banking system.
By mid-August 2026, data from the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) indicated that banking deposit growth had slowed to just over 2 percent for the first half of the year, down from previous years. This deceleration is attributed to declining interest rates set by the Banco de México, which has led savers to seek alternative investments. In this environment, digital banking institutions like Plata have entered the market, offering higher-yield savings products to attract customers.
