The Mexican peso is one of the 10 most traded currencies in the international foreign exchange market, the most traded in Latin America, and the third most traded in the Americas. Its value is of great importance both nationally and regionally, as Mexico is one of the main trading partners of Canada and the United States.
The exchange rate is the value of one currency expressed in terms of another country’s currency. This conversion facilitates the international market for goods and services, as well as the transfer of funds between nations. Canada and Mexico maintain a significant relationship due to the USMCA trade agreement. For these reasons, we are sharing the current exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso.
The Canadian dollar is trading at an average of 13.1026 pesos at the start of trading today. The currency’s value at the close of trading yesterday was 13.0788 pesos.
According to Investing.com, the annual exchange rate range for this currency is between 13.0212 and 14.8895 pesos, representing a variation of 13.1091% over that period.
Several factors determine the exchange rate level, including monetary policies, inflation, the trade balance, and consumer expectations.
According to official statistics from the latest census conducted in Canada, Mexicans are the third largest population from Latin America and the Caribbean residing in the country and the largest among Spanish-speaking countries in the region. In 2021, a total of 132,220 people of Mexican origin were counted living in Canada.
The Canadian government considers that 75.8% of this population are permanent residents who obtained Canadian citizenship through naturalization or were born in Mexico to a Canadian parent. 24.2 percent were classified as non-permanent residents. This group includes Mexicans who obtained a work visa or students on exchange programs.
According to the Mexican government, remittances from Canada totaled $216 million during the first quarter of this year, and a total of $930 million was sent in 2023.
In the foreign exchange market, the supply and demand of currencies determine the exchange rate. Public and monetary policies have a significant influence on currency fluctuations.
The Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada and is represented by the acronym CAD in the foreign exchange market. This currency has been used throughout most of the country’s history.
Canada has historically been one of the United States’ main trading partners, and with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), approved in 2020, it maintains a strong trade relationship with the Mexican market.
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Canada is headed for a period of moderate growth after the severe blow dealt by the coronavirus pandemic.
In 2021, Canada became the United States’ top trading partner, capturing 14.5 percent of the U.S. market.
Experts predict that the country’s financial situation will face fewer economic difficulties this year, based on the fact that inflation slowed last year and the country’s restrictive monetary policies.
The country’s central bank has struggled in recent years to lower inflation rates since the price increases began in 2021. Canada’s economy was boosted last year by record population growth.
Economists predict that the country’s economy will get back on track in the second half of this year, provided Canadians can weather the current economic storm.
