Favorable exchange performance

In the next years, Mexico will experience a better real exchange rate perfomance than many of its competitors within international markets. As an example, the following graphs show the expected behavior of real exchange rates for selected countries to the US dollar, the euro, the pound sterling, the yen and the Canadian dollar, during the period of 2009-2012 (expected proportional growth per year).

It can be noticed that, between 2009 and 2012, Mexico's real exchange rate will remain virtually balanced to the US dollar and the euro.

In contrast, Asian countries like China and India will register a strong currency appreciation in real terms. This will translate in a relative cheapening of the goods exported from Mexico to Markets in North America and Europe, comparing with products exported by its Asian competitors.

By considering Mexico as an operation and exporting base, the exchange rate performance opens new business opportunities in short and medium terms, for the businesses that want to increase their profits or to get a better position of their products in international markets.
