This paper studies how bank characteristics affect the credit supply in Mexico. We analyse how these features influence banks' response to shocks. We compare the conduct of domestic banks to that of foreign banks' subsidiaries active in Mexico. Finally, we study the role of other micro variables (loan, bank-firm relationship, firm, industry) in the credit supply and the transmission of shocks. For this purpose, we use private loan-level data from the Mexican credit registry.
