Bank of Mexico cuts benchmark interest rate to 6.50% in split vote
MEXICO CITY - The Bank of Mexico on Thursday cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 6.50%, noting that the decision concludes a rate easing cycle that began in 2024.
The decision by the central bank's five‑member board, which had been largely expected by analysts, was not unanimous, with three governors voting to cut the rate and two voting to hold.
