Mexican investors are protected against the periods of volatility and uncertainty that are expected for 2018, which is reflected in the positive performance of the long-term debt segment of the stock market.

This was stated by the general director of the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), José Oriol Bosch, who explained that before the period of volatility, investors take financing that allows them to pass that period.

"That is precisely why we have seen a very large growth in what is long-term debt compared to the previous year," he told a press conference on Monday.

So far in 2017, the financing of long-term debt amounts to 268,000 million pesos. This figure is 75% higher than the same period last year.
