Quiroz added that in the local market, the possibility of the changes proposed by the central banks going ahead Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to the Constitution with its proposal of 18 proposed reforms, which is known as Plan C eis generating uncertainty that is beginning to affect the peso.

“The implications that could exist open up a scenario of a possible slowdown waiting to happen at the start of the next legislature in the Congress of the Union, as volatility in the markets is anticipated.”

Meanwhile, the peso registered a depreciation of 1.16% or 22 cents, trading around 19.21 pesos per dollar, with the exchange rate touching a minimum of 18.9305, ranking as the most depreciated currency.
