Remittances to Mexico surge to record high in March
Remittances to Mexico surge to record high in March
ReutersMay 4, 2020, 1:12 PM EDT
MEXICO CITY, May 4 (Reuters) - Remittances to Mexico, one of the country's main sources of foreign exchange, surged to a record in March, central bank data showed on Monday, as workers abroad likely rushed to take advantage of a favorable exchange rate.
Mexico received $4.02 billion in remittances from abroad in March, a 36% increase from the $2.96 billion in March 2019, the Bank of Mexico figures showed. It compares with $2.69 billion in February.
Most of the money sent to Mexico comes from the United States, which is home to millions of people of Mexican origin.
"The significant acceleration of remittances in March is difficult to square with labor market conditions and sentiment in the U.S.," Alberto Ramos, economist at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note to investors.
"We speculate that perhaps fearing a significant deterioration of the employment and income prospects in the U.S., many workers may have capitalized on a favorable USD/MXN level to send part of their accumulated savings in the U.S. back to Mexico," Ramos added.
In recent weeks, the Mexican peso has reached all-time lows versus the U.S. dollar as emerging market currencies around the world and broad financial markets took a battering amid the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the first three months of 2020, remittances rose by 18.4% year-on-year to $9.29 billion. (Reporting by Anthony Esposito; editing by Jonathan Oatis)
