SUBJECT: MODIFICATIONS TO CIRCULAR 2/2011 (RULES FOR THE SWAP OF GOVERNMENT SECURITIES)

The Bank of Mexico, with the purpose of continuing to promote the sound development of the financial system, foster the proper functioning of payment systems, and protect the interests of the public, has determined it convenient to adjust the Rules for the Swap of Government Securities, contained in Circular 2/2011, with the objective of including any debt instrument issued by the Federal Government, including those at adjustable rates, for the conduct of government security swap auctions, in order to promote flexibility in this type of operation and the development of the fixed income market in Mexico.

“For the Auctions referred to in items a) and b) of section 3 of these Rules, bids may only be competitive and must indicate the issuance key, the rate of the CETE or the price of the BONDE, and, as applicable, the amount that the bidder is willing to deliver or receive and the key of the Government Security that they wish to receive or deliver as a result of the swap, as the case may be.

Bids must be submitted in the form, terms, and conditions set forth in the respective calls. In the event that bids cannot be submitted through PRIMARY SWAP, bidders may submit them, exceptionally, through any other electronic, computing, or telecommunications medium authorized for such effect by the Bank of Mexico, in which case they must confirm them in writing addressed to the National Operations Management, presented in a closed envelope no later than 17:00:00 hours on the same Banking Business Day of the Auction, using the corresponding model contained in Appendices 1 to 3 and accompanying it with a cover letter, as applicable, for each of the Government Securities involved.

Friday, October 22, 2021 OFFICIAL GAZETTE 177

“5.32. Each bidder may present one or more bids in relation to the same call. The bids presented in each request must refer exclusively to the same issuance.”

5.4 Effects of Bids

“5.41. ... The access, identification, and, if applicable, operation keys established for the use of PRIMARY SWAP or any other electronic, computing, or telecommunications medium used for the purposes of these Rules, will substitute the autograph signature with an electronic one, so that documentary or technical records in which they appear will have full legal validity and produce the same effects that the laws grant to documents signed by the parties, and consequently, will have equal probative value.”

“5.42. ... Furthermore, the Bank may reject bids regarding one or more issuances if, in its judgment, the participation of the same, due to their characteristics, could produce inconvenient effects for the sound development of the securities market in particular or the financial market in general. The Bank may limit the participation of one or more of the persons mentioned in the first paragraph of section 1 of these Rules, when the bids they present do not conform to sound market practices.”

“6. ALLOCATION

Bids will receive allocation in ascending or descending order, as applicable, of the respective rates or prices. In Auctions at a single rate or price, the rate or price at which the Government Securities involved will be allocated will be that corresponding to the last bid that receives allocation even if it is partially attended in its amount.

...

In Auctions at a fixed rate or price, bids will be attended to at the rate or price determined by the Bank and up to the amount indicated in the bid itself. In all cases, bids will be attended to and receive allocation without exceeding the maximum amount indicated in the call.

...”

7. RESULTS

“The Bank will make the general results of the Auctions available to bidders, through the aforementioned Internet website of the Bank of Mexico or through any other electronic, computing, or telecommunications medium authorized for such effect by the Bank of Mexico, no later than within sixty minutes after the deadline for the submission of bids. The information corresponding to the general results of an Auction will remain available to bidders through the mentioned medium, until the results of a new Auction are incorporated in the terms indicated above. The Bank will inform each bidder individually, through the PRIMARY SWAP system or through any other electronic, computing, or telecommunications medium authorized for such effect by the Bank of Mexico, no later than sixty minutes after the deadline for the submission of bids of the Auction in question, the quantity of Government Securities that, if applicable, have been allocated to them and the quantity of Government Securities that, if applicable, they will deliver.”

“8. SETTLEMENT OF AUCTIONS

8.1 The Bank, by virtue of what is provided in articles 2312 and 2331 of the Federal Civil Code, reserves the ownership of the Government Securities that it must deliver as a result of the swap, until the moment it receives from the bidder the Government Securities corresponding to it.”

“8.2 The settlement of the swap operations of Government Securities referred to in these Rules will be carried out through DALI in the terms established in the internal regulations of INDEVAL, on the date fixed in the corresponding call. On the day of settlement, the Bank will instruct INDEVAL to: a) make the corresponding charge in the securities account of the credit institution or brokerage house in question, for the total of Government Securities that it must deliver to the Federal Government, in terms of what is provided in the following paragraph, and b) credit the cited account with the total of Government Securities that it must receive. In the event that the total value of the Government Securities to be delivered or received by the bidder is greater or less than the total value of the Government Securities to be received or delivered in the swap, the difference in favor or to the charge of the bidders mentioned in items a) and b) of section 1, as applicable, must be paid on the day of settlement of the swap by credit or charge in the account that the Bank of Mexico maintains for them.”

“8.3 ... For the purposes of the foregoing, all Government Securities that bidders who have received allocation are obliged to deliver must be deposited in the corresponding securities accounts, before the closing of operations of DALI.

...”

“8.4 In the event that a bidder does not have the total amount of Government Securities that they must deliver in the designated account as indicated in the previous section, the Bank may, without the need for a judicial declaration, rescind the swap for the missing amount, so that the corresponding credits and charges will not be made in the securities accounts in DALI. In the case referred to in the previous paragraph, bidders must cover to the Bank the equivalent to the maximum amount resulting between one percent of the nominal amount of the Government Securities that were not delivered on time to the Federal Government and 200,000 UDIS applying the value in national currency of said unit of account corresponding to the date on which the breach in question occurs.

...

The amounts referred to in the previous paragraphs will be charged in the national currency account that the Bank of Mexico maintains for the defaulting bidder or in the account that it maintains for the institution or brokerage house that authorized them in terms of the authorization model presented to the Bank according to the format included in Appendices 4 and 5, as applicable. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Bank may disqualify the respective bidder from participating in the Auctions.”

“8.5 In the case of BONDES with fixed interest rates issued prior to the placement date, settlement must be carried out by adding to the unit price, the accrued but unpaid interest, from the date of their issuance or from the last interest payment, as applicable, up to the settlement date, according to the following formula: Where: In the case of BONDES with variable interest rates, settlement must be carried out by adding to the unit price, the accrued but unpaid interest, from the date of their issuance or last interest payment, as applicable, up to the settlement date, according to the following formula: Where:
