Infonavit Preps MXP RMBS

Mexican mortgage and social services entity Infonavit plans to sell an up to MXP1.1bn ($82m) UDI-denominated RMBS in the domestic market this week. The 28-year security will be backed by Infonavit mortgages targeted at middle and high income borrowers. Pricing is scheduled for December 7. While official guidance has yet to be released, the issuer is heard considering an interest rate in the 4.5%-5% range. “This is a preliminary forecast as pricing is dependent on how the market is at the moment,” notes a person familiar with the transaction. Proceeds will be used to create new mortgages. Banamex is managing the sale, rated AAA on a local scale.
