Banco Nacional De Comercio Exterior, S.N.C, a United Mexican States corporation ("Issuer"), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act")1and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,2to withdraw its 7 1⁄4 % Global Notes (due 2004) ("Security"), from listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

On January 29, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a resolution to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the NYSE. In making its decision to withdraw the Security from the Exchange, the Issuer states that: (i) The Security is not widely held and has a low trading volume; (ii) the Issuer is subject to administrative costs resulting solely from the listing of the Security, including those related to maintaining the listing of the Security on the NYSE and complying with U.S. securities laws reporting requirements. Given the low trading volume of the Security, the Issuer believes that such costs are not justified. The Security is the only outstanding security the Issuer has listed on a national securities exchange.
The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of the NYSE rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the NYSE and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act3and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.4
