At the 89th Banking Convention, Carlos Hank González, chairman of the Board of Directors of Grupo Financiero Banorte, spoke about the bank’s vision for the coming years: “to be the bank for Mexican families,” and emphasized that there are no plans for international expansion. The strategy is to strengthen its local presence at a time when the country faces “challenges”… but also opportunities.
Economic Rebound in 2026: Banorte Forecasts Growth Driven by Various Factors
While 2025 closed with GDP growth of nearly 0.5%, Banorte’s internal projections for 2026 point to 1.8%, more than triple the previous year’s rate. Hank González attributes this jump to three specific factors:
The Review of the USMCA
The economic impact of the World Cup, which, according to estimates, could contribute between 0.3 and 0.5 percentage points to GDP on its own.
And the federal government’s infrastructure projects
The Mexico Plan as a Lever for Investment
Carlos Hank emphasized that Banorte views the Mexico Plan proposed by President Claudia Sheinbaum as the driving force behind this project and aims to be its primary financial channel; he noted that the fact that she is “personally promoting it” gives them tremendous confidence.
The Use of New Technologies Through a Human-Digital Model
Regarding the areas Banorte seeks to strengthen, the bank highlights its push to adopt new technologies through a Human-Digital model. This approach allows customers to reap the benefits of artificial intelligence without sacrificing human contact or institutional support.
The Banorte Stadium: More Than Just a Name—A Commitment to Transformation and National Leadership
The only venue in history to host three World Cups will bear the bank’s name. Hank González made it clear that this is not merely a branding sponsorship but a genuine transformation of the stadium into a world-class venue. “It’s not just about putting a name on a building,” he said. For Banorte, the stadium is also a statement of intent: a bank that competes with global giants and doesn’t need to leave the country to prove it.
