Héctor Grisi, Banco Santander México's Executive President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased with the high quality results achieved this quarter, in light of the recent deceleration of loan growth in Mexico, a smaller contribution of market-related income to our gross operating income, and a higher effective tax rate. While expanding our loan book further, we kept asset quality at prudent levels. Coupled with improved efficiency levels, our net income grew around 9% vs. 2Q18, raising ROAE above 17%.
As you know, one of our key strategic goals is attracting more retail clients, and we continue to make significant progress on this front. Solid growth in our retail deposits reflects the investments we have been making to enhance our offering, including customers' digital and branch experiences. These investments also strengthen customer loyalty, helping us become the primary bank of our customers and enabling us to sell a broader array of financial products and services. The use of digital channels has also increased its importance in the country, as exemplified by the CODI initiative to boost digital payments through the use of QR technology, sponsored by Banco de Mexico. On this front, I am glad to share with you that Banco Santander Mexico was one of the first banks to comply with all requirements set by the Central Bank, reinforcing our commitment of offering the best in class services to our customers.
Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the year. And while we plan to normalize the level of investments in the coming years, we are fully committed to continue enhancing the customer experience and driving innovation across our franchise."
