Mexico raises minimum wage by 12%, but inflation and currency devaluation may reduce its impact.

Mexico will increase its minimum wage by 12%, effective January 1, 2025, setting the daily minimum at about 279 pesos, or $13.75. However, due to an 18% devaluation of the Mexican peso, the increase represents a slight decrease in dollar terms. The decision was made by a commission of government, labor, and business representatives, aiming to boost workers' income despite a 4.75% inflation rate.
