The National Banking and Securities Commission amends Articles 91 Bis, 99 Bis, and 99 Bis 2 of the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions to introduce risk adjustment factors for loans granted to women. These amendments reduce the Probability of Default and Loss Severity parameters for female borrowers, thereby lowering the preventive reserves banks must hold for non-revolving consumer and mortgage credit. The changes apply exclusively to loans originated after the resolution's entry into force.

RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions
At the margin, a seal with the National Coat of Arms, which says: United Mexican States.- TREASURY.- Ministry of
Treasury and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.
The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on the provisions of articles 76 and 98 Bis
of the Credit Institutions Law; as well as 4, fractions XXXVI and XXXVIII and 16, fraction I of the Law of the
National Banking and Securities Commission, with the prior opinion of the Bank of Mexico, and
CONSIDERING
That in accordance with the provisions of article 78 of the General Law for Regulatory Improvement and with the purpose
of reducing the compliance cost of this modifying resolution, the National Banking and Securities Commission through the issuance of the "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to the activities of savings and loan cooperatives" and the "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions", both published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on April 26, 2018, proceeded to extend the deadline for savings and loan cooperatives to present to their Board of Directors the annual consolidated basic financial statements; likewise, the obligation that multiple banking institutions had to present to the National Banking and Securities Commission reports and opinions from independent external auditors was eliminated;
That in accordance with the Financial Inclusion Report 9, issued by the National Banking and Securities
Commission, as well as with data from financial institutions in Mexico, in Latin America and the Caribbean and
other parts of the world, it has been demonstrated that women are a profitable market with great growth potential. The evidence suggests that women present lower default rates, and therefore credit for them requires a lower capital reserve. An analysis of 23 banks from 18 countries that are part of
the Global Banking Alliance found that the participation of women in non-performing loans was lower
than that of men in most of the observed segments (micro, small and medium enterprises). The
lower number of non-performing loans by women could have a positive effect on the requirements
of capital of credit institutions. The analysis on the profitability of women's participation carried out by
these credit institutions in 2015 concluded that, on average, the provision of credit to women
customers would require approximately 4% less capital due to the lower non-performing loans of
women;
That according to the document Annual Panorama of Financial Inclusion 2020, which concentrates the
progress in financial inclusion at the end of year 2019 issued by the National Banking and Securities Commission,
the analysis of gender gaps revealed that the holding of financial products and services has improved
for women compared to 2018. The gap in the possession of deposit accounts was 4.9 points
percentage (pp) - in favor of women - , in mortgage credits of 24.8 pp - in favor of men - , in
credit cards of 2.8 pp - also in favor of men - , and in debit cards of 6.3 pp - in favor of
women - . In entities of popular savings and credit, the percentage of clients and members continued
favoring women, and
That in view of the foregoing, it is necessary to recognize in the methodology for estimating reserves
preventive and credit portfolio rating, the lower risk in which credit institutions incur
when granting credit to women, adjusting the risk parameters of probability of default and
severity of loss that are taken into account for the rating of the credit portfolio and the calculation of the
preventive reserves for credit risks of non-revolving consumer credit portfolios and
housing mortgage credit granted to women and, at the same time, promote financial inclusion by incentivizing financing to women with credit at lower rates, has resolved to issue the following:
