Salon N-14: the room where the Governing Board votes the target rate and the economist analyst kit lands before the press release
Salon N-14 sits inside one of the monetary policy briefing complexes in the financial sector corporates of the Polanco-Bosques corridor of Mexico City: a room with a central screen for the inflation analysis projection, lecterns for the bank's chief economist and the Banco de Mexico guest, a video conferencing room linked to the Banxico headquarters on Avenida 5 de Mayo, a holding foyer for working coffee, a dumbwaiter from the corporate kitchen, and an independent access door for the deputy governor's escort when they attend the session. This is where the monetary policy briefings of the multiple banking institutions run, where the Banxico press release analyses take place, where the inflation forecast sessions of the economic groups convene, and where the meetings with the Banxico technical staff that oversees the financial system happen. What separates Salon N-14 from a posh ballroom is the documentary order: the analyst kit enters before the press release, exits signed by each analyst at close, and respects the monetary policy blackout period limits.
