Overview
Mexico's domestic credit stood at 60.72% in 2025, a decline of +2.29% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 60.72% by 2025. Mexico ranked 26th globally.
Mexico’s domestic credit to the private sector has risen steadily over the 29‑year series, moving from 32.30 in 1997 to 60.72 in 2025, placing the country 26th globally. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 63.01 in 2024, surpassing the 2001 trough of 25.90 and reflecting a more than doubling of credit availability since the early 2000s. This upward trajectory mirrors the expansion of formal banking and financial inclusion initiatives, while the recent peak aligns Mexico with peers such as Kosovo (63.28) and Cabo Verde (63.68), both of which rank slightly higher in the same year. The modest decline from the 2024 apex to 60.72 in 2025 suggests a short‑term slowdown, but the long‑run pattern remains upward. Continued macro‑economic stability, low inflation and further deepening of credit markets will be essential to sustain growth and potentially push the ratio above the current peak.
