Remarks by Mr Javier Guzmán Calafell, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Mexico, at the panel "The United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Northeast Chapter", organized by the US/Mexico American Chamber of Commerce, New York City, 16 February 2018.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

The views and opinions expressed in this document are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily represent the institutional position of the Banco de México or of its Board of Governors as a whole.

First of all allow me to thank the US-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, and especially Alejandro Ramos, for the invitation to share with you some views on monetary policy and the economic outlook for Mexico in these challenging times.

World economic activity seems to be gaining steam at the beginning of 2018 and a number of timely indicators point to further strength in coming months.
