Santander refines strategy in Mexico to grow without increasing risk

Santander is optimistic about growth opportunities in Mexico, but wants to manage risk. The bank's strategy focuses on large and medium-sized companies, with plans to accelerate credit and maintain strict capital discipline. Santander has reduced its appetite for credit card and personal loan business, considering them less profitable, but is open to revisiting this if the labor market continues to improve.

The bank has increased financing for car purchases and mortgages, and is cautiously expanding payroll-backed loans, with Mexico's competitive market not seen as an obstacle. Santander's CEO, Héctor Grisi, expects a renegotiation of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, but believes an agreement will be reached.
