Abstract

Although Mexico's 1994 peso devaluation and subsequent capital outflows shook the nation's banking system, the foundations of the banking crisis were laid much earlier. ; Econometric evidence suggests that in the wake of the 1991-92 bank privatizations, Mexico's banks entered a market share struggle in which they incurred short-term losses at the margin, perhaps in the interests of greater expected gains over the long term. ; Euphoric investor behavior and a rising economy may have aggravated the situation by making risky borrowers more difficult to identify.
