Mexico Credit Rating Downgrade: Expat Cost of Living
xCruzo Brief
HR Ratings cut Mexico’s long-term sovereign rating from BBB+ to BBB on Thursday, 15 October 2026, keeping it in investment grade. The article stresses that for expats the practical impact is more about currency moves than the headline grade: the peso closed at 18.4142 per US dollar on 15 October, stronger than 18.4888 the previous day. Examples show how a 10% peso move would change a rent of MXN 20,000 (about US$1,086 at the official rate): roughly US$987 if weaker, or US$1,207 if stronger. Mexico’s finance ministry says about 80% of federal debt is fixed in pesos and reserves exceed US$256 billion, while inflation was 3.45% in September.
