The Mexican peso is the fifteenth most traded currency in the world, as well as the most traded in Latin America and the third on the continent only behind the US and Canadian dollars.

Currently the abbreviation MXN is used to talk about the Mexican peso, but before 1993 the acronym MXP was used.

Currently, the Mexican peso has seen its balance hit after the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic in the world, as well as other events that have marked it as electoral processes both nationally and in the United States, one of Mexico's main trading partners.

Mexico declared a quarantine on March 23, 2020 in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and kept only essential activities open, which was a major blow to the economy that has not fully recovered.

Mexico's economy, the second largest in Latin America after Brazil, increased 5% in 2021, according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
