In brief: Mexico

* Mexico’s central bank (Banxico) has revised down its 2018 economic growth predictions for the domestic economy from 2%-3% to 2%-2.6%. Banxico cited international trade tensions, higher interest rates, and a strong US dollar as the main factors behind the revision, as well as Mexico’s planned change in leadership (President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador takes office on 1 December).
