Question 1 • 26-27 - C - RUSD World History, Culture and Geography

Which explains why the value of the peso has dropped significantly since the early 1990s?

Answer
A
a banking crisis in the 1990s followed by a global recession in 2008
B
a global recession in the 1990s followed by a banking crisis in 2008
C
a series of natural disasters in the 1990s followed by a civil war in 2008
D
a series of UN sanctions in the 1990s followed by a drought in 2008

Explanation

The peso’s value fell sharply during Mexico’s financial and banking crisis in the 1990s. Later, the global recession that began in 2008 put further pressure on the currency. So the choice describing a 1990s banking crisis followed by a 2008 global recession is correct.
