Sheinbaum promises to expand much-needed access to credit in Mexico
- On May 8, 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum formalized a pact during the 88th National Banking Convention in Nayarit aimed at enhancing credit opportunities for small enterprises across Mexico in collaboration with the Mexican Banking Association.
- The agreement responds to Mexico’s historically low credit availability for businesses and households, worsened by external challenges such as tariffs imposed by President Trump.
- Sheinbaum highlighted that the government and banks will raise credit by 3.5% annually for micro, small, and medium enterprises and simplify loan procedures alongside lowering interest rates.
- Citing World Bank data, Sheinbaum said Mexico ranks near last worldwide in credit access for companies and households, noting only 33% of the population currently receives credit.
- The agreement aims to improve financing conditions, targeting 30% of small businesses with loans by 2030, which Sheinbaum called essential for economic growth and public well-being.
