The Bank of Mexico has launched a drive to cut costs, including plans to cuts its wage bill, as part of broader public sector austerity measures.

In a statement, the central bank said it was targeting cuts to its 2017 budget of at least 140 million pesos ($6.6 million), in line with a government reform drive that includes structural reforms and fiscal consolidation.

The central bank's board approved a budget worth 6.8 billion pesos in 2016, meaning a 140 million peso cut represents about 2%.
