Country Report: Mexico (new 2015)
Relatively high stocks of private short-term portfolio investments (more than 270 % of Mexico´s international reserves) make the economy vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment, as was seen in 2013. When the US Federal Reserve then considered ending its programme of monetary easing, financial markets reacted by partly withdrawing or reversing short-term portfolio capital that had been invested in Mexican assets in the last few years, leading to higher currency volatility.
