dinero_admin The Secretaría del Consejo Monetario Centroamericano (SECMCA) reported on the recent meeting of the Comité de Política Monetaria (MPC), held on february 17 and 18 in hybrid mode. This committee, made up of experts from the central banks of six countries, analyzed key issues for macroeconomic and financial stability in the region.
During the meeting, the economic performance of each country and the outlook in the current international context were reviewed. They also discussed factors that may affect monetary policy in the region, considering the changes in the global economy.
Dr. Ana Aguilar, from the BIS office in Mexico, and officials from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) participated.
Aguilar spoke on the effects of uncertainty in monetary policy, while ECLAC presented an analysis of intra-Central American trade based on input-output matrices.
The meeting also included a space to evaluate the functioning of liquidity markets and their impact on monetary policy. This analysis is key to understanding how the effects of central bank decisions are transmitted to the real economy.
The meeting is part of the regional cooperation plan and seeks to strengthen coordination among central banks. The aim is to improve financial stability and the efficiency of economic policies in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
