7 April
Bank nationalization, reprivatization, crisis and financial rescue: Using testimonials to write contemporary Mexican banking history

Venue: Bangor Business School London Centre
Time: 2.00 - 4.00pm





The Mexican banking system has experienced a large number of transformations during the last 30 years. Although important regulatory changes were introduced in the 1970s, all but a couple of the commercial banks were nationalized in 1982, consolidated into 18 institutions and these were re-privatized in 1992. Shortly after, a balance of payments crisis in 1995 (i.e. Tequila effect) led the government to mount a financial rescue of the banking system which, in turn, resulted in foreign capital controlling all but a couple of institutions. Each and every one of these events was highly disruptive for Mexico’s productive capacity and society as a whole as their consequences have had long lasting effects on politics, regulation and supervision of the financial sector as well as polarising society. Not surprisingly the contemporary narrative accompanying these events has been highly controversial and full of conflicting accounts, with competing versions of events resulting in a long list of misconceptions and "urban legends".

Brief curricula: Dr Cardenas graduated in Economics from the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (ITAM) and Economic History from Yale University. He was president of Las Americas University (Puebla, Mexico) where he also taught economic history. More recently and since 2005, he has been Executive Director of the Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias and acts as trustee of El Colegio de Mexico.
