The Bank of Mexico, considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the global economy and on the behavior of our country's financial markets, as well as on the foreign exchange and fixed income markets which continue to show little depth, lower liquidity, and a deterioration of operating conditions, with the object of continuing to promote the sound development of the financial system and to ensure its stability, as well as to promote the proper functioning of payment systems and avoid disturbances in them, has considered it necessary to maintain the provision of liquidity in national currency to credit institutions, in observance of the applicable regulations to the operations that this Central Institute is authorized to carry out with such institutions, with the aim of improving the functioning of national markets, strengthening credit granting channels in the economy and promoting the orderly behavior of our country's debt and exchange markets. With this, this Central Institute will contribute to the existence of conditions that facilitate credit institutions to fulfill their priority function of providing financing to the economy, which is why it has resolved to offer these institutions this liquidity facility, on a provisional basis, with the objective that they use the respective resources to grant financing directly, to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as to individuals, or indirectly, through other non-bank financial entities.

As part of this, the facilities that, like this one, the Bank of Mexico has implemented in response to the prevailing conditions of economic and financial stress, have been designed with the purpose that financial institutions that can access these facilities continue to fulfill their function as credit grantors to the people and companies of the country, without this extending to related parties of their respective corporate structures.

Regarding resources derived from a repo celebrated in accordance with these Rules, in the event that the respective Institution has allocated part of those resources to the granting of any of the credits provided for in these same Rules and, prior to the maturity of that repo, receives payment of part or the entirety of the credit in question, it must allocate the resources from that payment to the granting of a new credit in the terms described above, within a term of 20 Banking Business Days subsequent to that on which it has received said payment.

Additionally, regarding those credits that the corresponding Institution has granted in accordance with these Rules, within the term of 20 Banking Business Days mentioned in section 3.1 above, with resources derived from the withdrawal of Monetary Regulation Deposits and, in turn, this does not allocate, during the 125 Banking Business Days subsequent to the conclusion of that term, those resources that, if any, it receives in payment of part or the entirety of the credit in question to the granting of a new credit in the terms described above, said Institution must restore to the Monetary Regulation Deposit at the Bank of Mexico the amount that it has not allocated to the granting of the referred credits. Likewise, in the event that any Institution celebrates a repo in accordance with these Rules and does not allocate, during the term of that repo, the entirety of the resources derived from said operation to the granting of the credits previously described, the Institution must restore to the Bank of Mexico the amount that it has not allocated to the granting of the referred credits, in which case the repo will be considered prematurely matured and the parties may simultaneously celebrate a new repo, in the same terms, with the same maturity date as the previous one and with the same titles that cover, at least, the price equivalent to the amount of resources that the Institution has effectively allocated to the credits previously referred to, plus the Estimated Premium in accordance with the above for the remaining term and, if applicable, other agreed expenses.
