Mexico: Financial Sector Assessment Program Update: Technical Note: Industrial Organization and Competition: Pension System in Mexico

International Monetary Fund

No 2007/164, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: The technical note on Mexico’s Financial Sector Assessment Program update analyzes that the private pension system’s regulator in Mexico has introduced innovate rules. Mexico, as with many other countries in Latin America, has adopted an individual capitalization pension system. The design of these pension reforms confers the administration of pension funds to private companies. Under these schemes, competition plays a key role, keeping prices low, a good quality of service, and an efficient investment allocation.
