Abstract
This review summarizes and discusses the main theses of the book El enigmático sistema bancario mexicano by Alejandro Villagómez and Fausto Hernández. It is a well-supported diagnosis of the current state of the Mexican banking system and the opportunities it presents for development. This analysis points out that, despite regulatory and operational progress made after the crisis of 1995, Mexico still faces challenges to consolidating a deeper and more efficient financial system. To achieve this goal, the authors mention the need to clarify and protect property rights, promote greater competition among intermediaries, as well as other issues. According to the review, a great merit of this book is that, without ceasing to be rigorous, it uses accessible language and helps to provide elements of judgment, not only for the specialist, but for society as a whole.// Esta reseña resume y comenta las principales tesis del libro El enigmático sistema bancario mexicano de Alejandro Villagómez y Fausto Hernández. Se trata de un diagnóstico bien sustentado de la situación actual y las oportunidades de desarrollo de la banca mexicana. En este análisis se señala que, pese a los avances normativos y operativos logrados tras la crisis de 1995, México aún enfrenta retos para consolidar un sistema financiero más profundo y eficiente. Para lograr este objetivo, entre otros aspectos, los autores mencionan la necesidad de clarificar y proteger los derechos de propiedad, así como promover una mayor competencia entre los intermediarios. De acuerdo a esta reseña, un gran mérito del libro es que, sin dejar de ser riguroso, utiliza un lenguaje accesible y contribuye a brindar elementos de juicio, no solo para el especialista, sino para el conjunto de la sociedad.
