The housing market in Mexico and development banking strategic motor housing

Javier Gavito Mohar

Development Banking in Mexico is the Federal Mortgage Society (SHF)-which began operations in 2002 - a valuable tool for financing the housing market which has resulted in a huge boost to the construction Real Estate in virtually all regions of Mexico and a very important economic benefit for our country.


The participation of banks limited purpose finance companies and multiple object and microfinance and other financial intermediaries together with the national housing agencies and developers are manifest in housing figures reflect a rapidly moving field that impacts many other activities and is a major source of job creation. However

originated in the U.S. subprime crisis which intensified with the Lehman bankruptcy in September 2008 was its most notorious of the restriction on the liquidity and financing sofomes Sofoles and specialized in the mortgage industry that until then played a role in the financing of both housing and mortgages for low-income families. These middlemen not only struggled to renew the commercial paper issued (more than 34.000 million pesos), but also suddenly closed were all sources of private financing.

Thus, SHF entrusted to provide the necessary liquidity to the sector and restore the funding mechanisms involved. By two agreements with commercial banks and other financial intermediaries were treated successfully with the problems of liquidity that had stopped the train called home.

SHF had also stopped giving loans to the construction since 2003 due to commercial banking and capital markets needs properly catered housing developers had to reactivate the granting of such credits to drought was caused by the crisis. From October 2008 through March 31, 2011 were authorized 24,635,000 pesos for bridging loans.

Also during the 2009 economic crisis and the situation resulting from the H1N1 affected the labor market, which damage the portfolios of financial intermediaries so some of these institutions had to neatly resolve the situation without creating a systemic problem.

With the return of liquidity and funding into the sector with measures implemented by the SHF and initiated an economic recovery that prevailed intermediaries able to implement a series of measures to consolidate and strengthen its financial position through capital injections as happened with ING Real Estate and Credit Vertex or through mergers and acquisitions as Casa Mexicana with comprehensive support and Fincasa Ixe with Banorte. Metrofinanciera also returned to the market properly capitalized and ABC Capital is becoming the bank.

Although the 2008, 2009 and 2010 were years in which the conjuncture of the crisis with its effects on the mortgage finance sector was very demanding in the SHF never lost sight of the long term.

therefore fulfilling its mandate as a development bank is pursuing strategies to promote access to credit and housing solutions for the underserved market and more housing backwardness is mainly composed of those not affiliated to social security systems. For these segments have designed several products and is expanding the network of financial intermediaries operating in the SHF.

This year is a clear dynamic recovery and particularly the mortgage industry in funding the production of housing and mortgages for the sector of non-members.

The real success for the SHF and the industry in which it operates is to migrate from a quantitative model in providing quality housing for inserting a housing into a sustainable environment and thereby improve the quality of life for families who dwell on it. For this, the SHF coordinates the work of 13 government agencies that are jointly designed and implemented and the concept of Developments Integrated Sustainable Urban who is serving as the standard for a new model of community life and future cities where sustainability is manifested in the economic social and environmental.

Telmex TV, now it?

What seemed like it would never happen during the administration of President Felipe Calderón, may be about to happen, is amended to grant pay Telmex for this television networks. This may be in spite of what the President and other political party in turn would have liked. Again it is the Federal Judiciary is to provide certainty to the sector. Telmex was the purview of the federal courts against various omissions of both the Federal Communications Commission and the Secretary of Communications and Transport. The sentence of last resort under the Seventh Collegiate Administrative Tribunal of the First Circuit is an argument for Interestingly enough analysts and industry experts had never seen. Let's see.

Background. Convergence Agreement of 2006 to restrict the convergence of a company, established a special regime that had a name: Telmex. Convergence Agreement established a series of requirements that Telmex should be satisfied before providing services or pay television networks, among which were certain interconnection obligations, implementing number portability, to be in compliance with its obligations. Once Telmex has complied with those obligations, then Cofetel would give a favorable opinion for which there out with the Secretary of Communications and Transport to it, based on the opinion of Cofetel resolve the modification of the concession. Telmex filed its initial application in 2008, no response obtained. Later in 2009 and 2010 continued to have written looking for the lifting of the restriction of its concession in 1990 over pay television services. The responses of the authorities were media and non-formal, saying he was considering, that whatever may be resolved in a reasonable time, and so on. Finally, Telmex promoted omissions appeal against the Secretary and the Cofetel.

Amparo. The Court unanimously ruled that:

(1) the Convergence Agreement states that Cofetel had a period of 60 days to decide whether Telmex had complied with the conditions and had 15 days to notify you of the requirements were not met, if not to do , would have a favorable opinion for granted (yes fictitious). "(...) To the failure of the Cofetel to notify dealers response restrictions on the favorable opinion of compliance requested within the prescribed period, it must be taken for granted (...)."
(2) the Secretary must "(...) to provide consistent and comprehensive response to requests [for Telmex and Telnor] ... founded and reasoned manner, taking into consideration that in the case operated in full by the Federal Communications Commission, the affirmative ficta favorable opinion regarding the compliance to the restrictions contained in securities granting the plaintiffs are eliminated. " Following

. Case somehow routed to the SCT change the Telmex concession, because the favorable opinion of Cofetel have met the requirements of the Convergence Agreement, how could legally justify denying the amendment SCT granting Telmex? Doing so regardless of the very probable improper foundation and motivation, this would consolidate the increasingly popular version of the National Action Party through the Federal Executive Telmex hurt to look good with Televisa for the elections of 2012.

On May 17 from 9 to 15 hours will be held free international forum led by Dr. Julio Tellez at the Institute for Legal Research of UNAM, which will direct link to the events in Geneva, and discussed the agenda national digital, Internet governance and cloud computing, among others.
