Key points

• Key points:
• Now, is the peso really strong? I think not and that's why the inverted commas in the title.
• In the first place, the peso has not recovered the value it had before the crisis that brought us the pandemic broke out.
• In mid-February 2020, the exchange rate was 18.5 pesos per dollar.
• Furthermore, at the beginning of 2016 it was at 17 pesos per dollar. That is to say that compared to those levels the weight is not “strong”.
