    59. Inside Mexico’s Pension Funds. Plus Fibra Monterrey, BBVA Mexico, Mexico’s Billionaires and Liga MX

    We talk with Guillermo Zamarripa, president of Mexico’s pension fund association, Amafore, about the growing importance of Mexico’s pension funds, including their role in the country’s long-term savings, capital markets, infrastructure and private assets, the challenge of ensuring adequate pensions as the population ages, and the structural or regulatory changes still needed for the Afore system to play a larger role in the economy. In the first part, Eduardo and I discuss Fibra Monterrey’s successful follow-on offering and what it says about continued investor appetite for Mexican equities, the broader consolidation wave in industrial real estate, why global tensions may actually strengthen Mexico’s nearshoring story, BBVA Mexico’s investor update and how it has out-finteched the fintechs while maintaining “principalidad,” Mexico’s latest billionaire list and what it reveals about the country’s wealth structure, and the growing foreign investment flowing into Liga MX.

    58. Bitso Goes Beyond Crypto: Oil Shock Impact, Chico Pardo Profiles, and ARQ’s Fundraise & Rebrand

    Felipe Vallejo, Country Head of Bitso Mexico, explains how the company is pivoting from a crypto-first exchange into a broader investing and payments platform, leveraging stablecoins to facilitate business payments and offering individuals non-crypto digital products including global stocks and bonds. A geopolitically driven oil price spike is no longer the windfall it once was for Mexico. With the country now a structural energy importer, higher oil prices can marginally worsen the external balance and, through the IEPS fuel-tax buffer, create a fiscal hit that can outweigh the upside from crude exports, potentially leaving Pemex stronger but the federal deficit weaker. Next, we look at Bloomberg and Whitepaper’s profiles of Fernando Chico Pardo, the new chairman of Banamex. What have learnt that is new? Finally we cover Mexico fintech fundraising and product expansion. DolarApp’s rebrand to ARQ signals a shift from cross-border finance toward a daily-use platform combining FX, cards, investing and credit, backed by major global investors (Sequoia and Founders Fund, no less). We also discuss Ualá’s ambitions in Mexico and why public data suggests its progress in the market seems problematic despite continued fundraising momentum.

    57. Creative Industries, Cartel Threats and Corporate Earnings

    This week we chat with Gina Diez Barroso, founder of CENTRO University, and a leading Mexican voice in education, innovation, urban renovation, arts and women in business. She reflects on the evolution of Mexico’s creative economy, and what it takes to build globally competitive creative business leaders in Mexico and elsewhere. We also speak with Edmundo Sandoval of Control Risks, the global risk consultancy, on how companies navigate insecurity, cartel dynamics, and extortion in Mexico, especially timely given the recent operation against the CJNG and the retaliatory violence that followed. To kick off, Eduardo and I break down 2025 full-year corporate results, focusing on FEMSA and Mercado Libre. We also analyze major corporate moves of the week, including Fibra Prologis’ bid for Fibra Macquarie, a sign that consolidation is returning to Mexico’s industrial real estate market and, potentially, the capital markets more broadly.

    56. GBM on Helping Mexicans Invest; Canada–Mexico Ties; New Film Tax Credits; Aeromexico’s Cash Generation; Kavak Raise

    Pedro de Garay, co-CEO of GBM and founder of Siclo, describes the pivot from a broker and investment bank built for Mexico’s financial elite to a mass-market investing platform, scaled with SoftBank backing and designed for first-time investors. We look at what comes next as GBM tries to turn scale into higher profitability. Diplomat Shauna Hemingway joins from the Canadian delegation of business leaders visiting Mexico to discuss where Canadian companies are investing, how they are reading the USMCA review, and the frictions that still slow cross-border deals. Before the interviews, Eduardo and Damian cover Mexico’s new 30% film and TV production tax credit, including local supplier rules and minimum spend thresholds, and Netflix’s new Mexico City headquarters, another signal that it sees Mexico as a long-term production base. We analyse Aeroméxico’s impressive cash generation in 2025, and Kavak’s fresh funding and what it says about late-stage tech in Mexico. We then break down Walmex’s softer 4Q25 results, a reminder that the consumer is still under pressure and competition is tightening. And on the Caribbean coast, early sargassum arrivals near Cancún are back on the radar, with potential consequences for tourism as the season approaches.

    55. Proof of Human in an AI world: Cash-to-Digital Payments; Crime Hits Investment

    Martin Mazza from Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity and its World project, tells us why Mexico and LatAm are key markets for Proof of Human tools in an AI world, how far they’ve progressed in getting Latin Americans to “eyeball up,” and what still needs to happen to reach critical scale. We also chat with another Argentine, Tomás Mindlin, CEO and co-founder of tapi, following the company’s US$27M Series B, on why Mexico is central to their expansion, profitability, the Arcus integration, and the role of cash-in/cash-out in Mexico’s payments digitalization. As always, Eduardo and Damian kick off with their take on some of the week’s main business stories: the Vizsla-linked kidnappings and murders in Sinaloa and what they signal about security risk in mining; Chinese OEM interest in Mexico colliding with U.S. tariff pressure and trade politics; Nu’s overcooked Mexico messaging; and the Volaris–Viva tie-up as the key stress test for Mexico’s new competition authority.

    54. Homebuilding, Infrastructure Plan, BBVA’s Mexico Blowout, Workweek Reform, and Pemex

    We interview Domingo Valdés, CFO of Vinte, Mexico’s largest homebuilder, on where Mexican housing is headed over the next decade. We discuss policy shifts from Peña Nieto to AMLO to Sheinbaum, Infonavit’s expanding role, the successful Javer acquisition, and how Vinte’s ESG focus translates into financial benefits. Before the interview, Eduardo and Damian first break down the week’s biggest Mexico storylines. Namely, the relevance of Mexico to Sunday’s Super Bowl; the government’s new multi-year infrastructure push; BBVA México’s blowout results and why Mexico remains the group’s profit engine; the proposed workweek reduction and what it could mean for the formal vs. informal labor divide; and the latest on Pemex’s “turnaround” narrative.

    53. ZONAMACO Art Fair, Mexican Brands in the US, Grupo México - Mexico’s new MVP

    ZONAMACO takes centre stage this week as we interview Zélika García, the founder behind Mexico’s top contemporary art fair, on how it became a global hit. We also speak with consultant Juan Saldívar on selling Mexican consumer brands in the US. And as always, Eduardo and Damian break down Mexico’s top business moves of the week: Sheinbaum’s private meetings with senior bankers and economic officials to push funding for Plan México and deepen credit; Revolut’s headline 15% yield on small deposits; and Banorte’s latest strong results and 2026 outlook. We also discuss how Grupo México became by far Mexico’s most valuable company, and how it’s poised to deploy its massive cash pile to invest more in mining, if permits come through.

    52. Mexico’s Water Challenges & Solutions; Davos MIA; 2026 Financials, Energy & Mining Outlook

    We interview Andrés Pliego on the outlook for Mexico’s water sector and how Rotoplas, where he is CFO, is investing across the region by providing practical, decentralized water solutions. Before the interview, Eduardo and Damian discuss the 2026 outlook for Mexico’s financials, energy, and mining sectors. We look at the impact of fintechs on lending and deposit rates, question Pemex’s ability to raise oil production, and highlight the need for the government to unlock mining investment by accelerating the approval of permits. We also discuss Mexico’s notable absence at Davos 2026. While thousands of the world’s leading CEOs and government figures were present in perhaps the most interesting Davos of all time, Mexico’s top brass was mostly absent.
