Mexico hosted the 89th Banking Convention, which was the first major event for the new leadership of the banking association following a money laundering scandal. The convention took place in Cancun and brought together bankers, politicians, and international guests, including former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The event was marked by themes of solidarity and discussions on the future of the country's financial sector. Attendees discussed the importance of increasing financial inclusion, enhancing security, and boosting credit. However, many experts and politicians expressed concerns about the current state of the economy, rising crime, and the need for greater legal certainty. President Claudia Sheinbaum and other high-ranking officials gave speeches, urging banks to cooperate with the government. The convention concluded with a spectacular concert featuring renowned artists.
