RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions

A seal with the National Coat of Arms appears at the margin, which reads: United Mexican States.- FINANCE.- Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.

The National Banking and Securities Commission, after agreement by its Board of Directors, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Articles 10, first paragraph, fractions IV and VI; 19, first and second paragraphs; 97 and 98 Bis of the Credit Institutions Law, as well as 4, fractions XI and XXXVIII; 12, fraction XV, and 16, fractions I and VI of the Law of the National Banking and Securities Commission, and

CONSIDERING

That on February 1, 2008, the "Decree reforming, adding and repealing various provisions of the Credit Institutions Law, the General Law of Negotiable Instruments and Credit Operations and the Organic Law of the National Bank of Public Works and Services" was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, where it was established that the amount of minimum capital that multiple banking institutions must have, which expressly contemplate in their corporate statutes all the operations provided for in Article 46 of said Credit Institutions Law, shall be the equivalent in national currency to the value of ninety million investment units and must be subscribed and paid no later than the last business day of each year;

That the same Decree indicated that the National Banking and Securities Commission, after agreement by its Board of Directors, will determine through General Provisions the amount of minimum capital that multiple banking institutions must have, based on the operations they expressly contemplate in their corporate statutes; the necessary infrastructure for their development; the markets in which they intend to participate; and the risks involved; the foregoing, understanding that in no case may it be less than the equivalent to forty percent of the minimum capital provided for multiple banking institutions that carry out all the operations provided for by Article 46 of the Credit Institutions Law;

That on December 24, 2009, the modification to the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions was issued to indicate the minimum subscribed and paid capital applicable to multiple banking institutions, based on their operations;

That asymmetries within the financial sector must be avoided, particularly regarding the relationship between minimum capital requirements and the operations that can be carried out by other financial entities other than multiple banking institutions, and

That, with the aim of streamlining the functioning of multiple banking institutions in the financial system and expanding the catalog of operations that can be carried out according to the corresponding minimum subscribed and paid capital, it has resolved to issue the following:
