**Slight Decrease in Remittances Sent to Baja California in Last Quarter**
The recent quarter saw a slight dip in remittances sent to Baja California, as reported by the Bank of Mexico. From July to September 2024, the region received over 374 million dollars, a slight decrease from the 376 million recorded from April to June of the same year. Tijuana, as the primary recipient, brought in a significant portion with 405 million dollars over the past six months.
Domingo Ramos Medina, the president of the College of Economists of Baja California, suggests that this decline could rebound in the upcoming quarter. He attributes the change to various factors affecting the U.S. economy, particularly labor dynamics, noting that remittances primarily originate from income related to employment, which aligns with the current labor market trends.
