Remittance income for Baja California at the start of the year reached approximately $340.5 million in this first quarter, according to data published by the Bank of Mexico (Banxico).
Statistics showed an increase in economic outflow from January to March 2025, which rose by over 6.84% compared to the same period last year, when $318.7 million was recorded.
Tijuana ranked as the main municipality receiving remittances in the state, accumulating approximately $187.7 million, accounting for more than half of the flow, or, statistically speaking, 55.12% of the state's outflow.
In second place is Mexicali with approximately $64.4 million, followed by Ensenada with approximately $51.5 million, completing the list of cities that received the most remittances in the first quarter of the year at the regional level.
The remaining remittances are shared between the municipality of Playas de Rosarito with $17.9 million, Tecate with $12.9 million, and another $5.8 million without an identified location, Banxico stated in its quarterly report.
Regarding the reason for the recovery, he hypothesized the remnants left behind by a potentially restrictive immigration policy targeting Mexican migrants working legally or illegally in the neighboring country.
He described the rebound in economic impact for Baja California and the rest of the country as a "good sign," after experiencing several contractions in remittance growth last year.
