Mexico Insurance Sector Faces Negative Outlook After VAT Reform Slashes Profitability, Says AM Best

  • AM Best revised Mexico’s insurance segment outlook to negative due to the elimination of a VAT fiscal credit, which could erase 40% of insurers’ expected 2025 net profits.
  • The VAT change will pressure profitability and increase market competition, prompting insurers to raise prices, tighten underwriting, and adjust products.
  • Some customers are expected to cancel coverage due to higher insurance rates.
  • Industry premium growth is slowing, with 8% expected in 2025, and top insurers are better positioned to withstand challenges, likely leading to market consolidation.
  • Financial revenues are projected to decline by 8% in 2025 due to lower interest rates, adding further pressure on the industry.
