FINANCIAL TENT
Those who already have the tent ready and spread out are the masters of money: the bankers. This group of owners of the monetary circuses celebrates its 86 Banking Convention next week, only now it will not be in Acapulco, Guerrero, but in Mérida, Yucatán. It is hoped that this time the long tablecloths will not stain like last year, when at Tamer The wild beasts almost escaped and ‘stalked’ the monetary policy announcement that corresponded to the Bank of Mexico. The gala function of the bankers was no longer the same and not even the “excuse me” of the reckless protagonist managed to remove the bad taste from the mouth. Not to mention that several guests at the Convention last year were poisoned by the consumption of some contaminated food. This 2023, the drum rolls will be on the change of post of the presidency of the Association of Banks of Mexico (ABM) that will leave Daniel Beckerfrom Mifel, to his colleague Julio Carranza, from BanCoppel, who since last year wanted the Convention not to take place in Acapulco… and it was fulfilled. And although Becker leaves the presidency, his participation and contribution will continue in the ABM, because he will serve as vice president, alongside Jorge Arcefrom HSBC, and Raul Martinez Ostos, from Barclays. Nor should we lose sight of the fact that many are still expectant about the future of Banamex, but everything indicates that this will not be the function that will catch the spotlight, unless the Tamer decides to repeat his 2022 number and give an announcement that does not correspond to him.
