Currency and the value of money

Exchange rate 0.38%
17.7100 MXN per USD As of 2026-09-25 · Banco de México — SIE

FIX exchange rate (peso–dollar)

What does this indicator mean?

The rate Banco de México publishes for settling dollar obligations inside Mexico. It is not what a currency exchange offers: it is the official reference.

Why does it matter to your business?

If your operation invoices or buys in dollars, this figure decides the month. It is also the reference used to value related-party transactions.

UDI 0.01%
8.824423 pesos As of 2026-09-25 · Banco de México — SIE

UDI value

What does this indicator mean?

The Investment Unit tracks inflation. It keeps a contract or a loan at its real value over time.

Why does it matter to your business?

It shows up in loans, leases and some tax obligations. If your company holds a UDI-denominated liability, it grows even if nobody touches it.

Reserves 0.12%
257,238.2 millions of dollars As of 2026-09-18 · Banco de México — SIE

International reserves

What does this indicator mean?

The foreign-currency assets managed by Banco de México. They back the peso’s stability against sharp swings.

Why does it matter to your business?

Ample reserves give room against exchange-rate volatility, which matters for any dollar-denominated operation.

Interest rates

TIIE 28 0.30%
6.7860 % As of 2026-09-25 · Banco de México — SIE

28-day TIIE

What does this indicator mean?

The rate at which banks lend to each other for 28 days. It is the base for interest on most business loans in Mexico.

Why does it matter to your business?

Your loan almost certainly reads “TIIE plus something”. When this figure rises, your monthly payment rises, even with nothing renegotiated.

CETES 28 1.60%
6.1500 % As of 2026-09-24 · Banco de México — SIE

28-day CETES

What does this indicator mean?

The yield on 28-day government debt. It is used as the reference for “what money earns risk-free”.

Why does it matter to your business?

It is the yardstick for any investment: if a project returns less than CETES, it is worth asking why it is being done.

Policy rate 0.00%
6.50 % As of 2026-09-25 · Banco de México — SIE

Banco de México policy rate

What does this indicator mean?

The interest rate Banco de México sets to steer monetary policy. Other market rates line up around it.

Why does it matter to your business?

When it moves, TIIE, borrowing costs and returns on cash follow. It anticipates what your company will pay or earn.

Prices and inflation

Inflation 4.49%
3.26 % As of 2026-08-01 · Banco de México — SIE

Annual inflation (INPC)

What does this indicator mean?

How much prices rose over the last twelve months, measured by the National Consumer Price Index.

Why does it matter to your business?

It erodes a margin without anyone deciding to. It also adjusts tax obligations, contracts and wages.

Economic activity

GDP 1.42%
25,971,193 millions of constant pesos As of 2026-04-01 · Banco de México — SIE

Gross domestic product (GDP)

What does this indicator mean?

The value of everything the Mexican economy produces in a quarter, at constant prices so inflation does not distort comparisons between periods.

Why does it matter to your business?

It sets the cycle your company operates in: sales, credit and hiring tend to move with it. It helps you tell whether your own results follow or buck the economy.

IGAE 1.69%
109.2 index (2018 = 100) As of 2026-07-01 · Banco de México — SIE

Global economic activity indicator (IGAE)

What does this indicator mean?

Mexico’s monthly measure of economic activity. It comes out before GDP and signals where it is heading.

Why does it matter to your business?

It is the earliest sign that the economy is speeding up or cooling down, useful for adjusting budgets and projections without waiting for the quarter.

What is this for?

Two concrete situations where this data stops being curiosity and becomes a decision.

I am setting up in Tijuana

Before signing a lease or incorporating, it pays to know how crowded your sector is, what rate you will operate at and what money costs. All three are below.

See the directory by sector

I already operate and want to restructure

A restructuring is decided with the cost of financing and inflation in view, not on instinct. If your loan reads “TIIE plus something”, start there.
