IMAAC further noted that
global economic activity continued
to recover towards the
end of 2016, but world trade
has shown a slowdown in 2017.
In this environment, the
fundamental adjustment factor
in the Mexican economy
has been the depreciation of the actual
exchange rate, which has translated into
a significant depreciation of the national
currency.
This rise in general inflation contributed
to inflation within the aerosol
industry, which explains, to a large extent,
the change in merchandise prices, which
have responded to the depreciation of the
national currency, explained IMAAC. Spray
