    The forecast exchange rate in one's year time according to Goldman Sachs is MXN 14.25/USD

    Explanation:

    The fact that the Mexican Peso will lose 15% of its value to the dollar means that a dollar will command 15% of the current Peso value in a year's time.

    Mathematically, MXN 9.5*1.15 = MXN14.25 in a year's time.

    It also implies that a Mexican with dollars wanting to convert into MXN in a year's time will receive more Peso compared to now.
