There are two interesting things to note about Mexico’s banking sector. The first is that Banco Regional de Monterrey – a lender that focuses on small businesses, which are often perceived as carrying higher risk – is the country’s best performer among the largest players.
The second is that Mexico’s biggest bank by Tier 1 capital, Grupo Financiero Banorte, also displays a healthy balance between size, leverage and return, resulting in the second best score for performance in the country. This positions it for continued market dominance in years to come.
