Mexico | Remittances reach historic high of US$2,642.7 million
Summary
Remittances in October 2017 mark a new all-time high, surpassing the previous record of $2,637.7 million established in October 2008. The depreciation of the peso against the dollar of more than 5% in October compared to September, due to the uncertainty generated by the NAFTA renegotiations, might explain this growth in remittances.
