MEXICO CITY, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Bank of Mexico's
five-member governing board unanimously voted to hike the
benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 11.00% on
Thursday, above market forecasts, citing "a still complex
inflation environment."
The decision by Banxico, as the central bank is known, comes
hours after data showed consumer prices in Latin America's
second largest economy rising in January above December readings
and market expectations.
