Mexico’s central bank cut its key interest rate to 6.25% in November 2026, lowering borrowing costs from the previous level of 6.50% last set in September 2026, according to data updated on 5 November 2026.
The decision marks a continuation of Mexico’s monetary easing cycle, with policymakers opting for a 0.25 percentage point reduction in the benchmark rate. The previous rate of 6.50% had been maintained since September, before the latest adjustment brought the indicator down to 6.25% in November.
The new level suggests that authorities are seeking to provide additional support to economic activity while navigating the balance between inflation control and growth. Market participants will be watching subsequent rate decisions and data releases closely to gauge the central bank’s next steps and the trajectory of Mexican monetary policy heading into the end of 2026.
