Acapulco, Gro. The "best antidote" to contain populist intentions is to build strong institutions with clear mandates and accountability, said Agustín Carstens Carstens, governor of the Bank of Mexico (BdeM), on Thursday.
"The best antidote to populism is precisely that there are strong institutions. The Bank of Mexico is a strong institution and, in that sense, is an example for many other instances that could increase the depth of the facilities, "said Carstens to the press as part of the second day of work of the 80th Banking Convention.
The bankers' annual meeting kicked off Wednesday with a coincidental speech between officials - including President Enrique Peña Nieto - and the Mexican Banking Association (ABM) against what they called "an advance of populism that puts values at risk Which defends liberalism. " President Peña said: "By populism I mean the dogmatic positions that postulate seemingly easy solutions, but that actually close spaces to the citizens."
On Thursday, prior to the start of a convention session on "The Global Dilemma: Liberalism versus Populism," Carstens told reporters that "institutions with clear mandates, with accountability, help the country's governance And at the end of the day, actions do not depend so much on people but on the institutions themselves. "
Inflation is more or less at the expected pace
The governor of the Bank of Mexico commented that inflation is "more or less than expected, still are seen some remnants of increases in prices of gasoline and other energy" at the beginning of the year.
This Thursday, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography reported that in the first half of March inflation was 0.35 percent. While, in annual terms, it was 5.29 percent, the highest in eight years.
"As the Bank of Mexico has anticipated, we will see levels above our upper bound for a few more months and later, towards the end of this year, annual inflation will drop," Carstens said.
The central bank has a permanent inflation target of 3 percent annually, with an interval of plus or minus 1 percentage point.
Yesterday, during the inauguration of the Banking Convention, Carstens considered that the recent appreciation of the peso in its quotation against the dollar will contribute to reduce inflation.
"What is important is that it should be noted that the inflation variation was 0.35 percent in the first half of March, much more in line with what we have normally seen. The arithmetic effect of January, the increase in gasoline, is what gives us these high annual readings, "added Carstens Thursday.
"What I would expect is that this bubble in inflation will dissipate by the end of this year," he added.
