Fomento Hipotecario is a small financial services company that provides mortgage financing, as well as financing for housing and commercial property developers. The IIC loan under the IFEMprogram is the company’s first from an international source. In addition to improving Fomento Hipotecario’s term-matching position, the loan is expected to have a demonstration effect that will ultimately make more funding available to specialized financial institutions that serve the mortgage sector in Mexico.
