Mexican families receiving remittances are perceiving less income as the Mexican peso appreciates against the US dollar, with the exchange rate approaching 17 pesos per dollar. [^1]

Analysts from Banorte and BBVA Research stated that the purchasing power of remittances decreased by 6.6% in July compared to July 2025, due to inflation and the appreciation of the peso against the dollar. [^2]

Analysts from Banxico and other institutions reported that the average remittance received per household in Mexico reached $426 in July, marking the highest monthly figure since records began in 1980. [^3]

Considering the annual inflation rate of 3.12% for the month, the purchasing power of these money transfers suffered a 6.69% annual loss in value. [^4]

When converted to national currency using an average FIX exchange rate of 17.4607 pesos per dollar in July 2026, the national economy received a flow equivalent to 97,266 million pesos, reflecting a 3.8% decline compared to pesos captured in July 2025. [^5]

Analysts from Banorte stated that the increase in remittance amounts is due to a better labor market for Mexican migrants in the United States and efforts to send extra resources to compensate for the loss of purchasing power in pesos. [^6]

Data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported that the cost of a food basket for three people living in urban areas was 7,637 pesos in July, which the current remittance amount is insufficient to cover. [^7]
