Dollar Savings: In a key month, start another round of the US$200 fee

With a value of the blue dollar and financiers delivering shocks last week, savers see at the beginning of a new month the possibility of obtaining foreign currency at a lower price. But there are restrictions that prevent an ever-widening universe of people from accessing the so-called official change.

Even if the month starts on Monday, as it is a holiday for Labor Day, those interested in buying currency through home banking will only be able to do so starting from Tuesday, after the opening of banking hours.

The officially quoted dollar, plus tax, itself has a number of limitations to access the purchase. Of the latter, there is that prevents those who have joined the pension moratorium from buying this type of currency.

The solidarity or savings dollar is the one that is marketed at the official exchange rate plus taxes of 30% of the COUNTRY tax and 35% as an advance payment of Earnings and Personal Assets. For the latter, those exempt from paying these taxes can request a refund.

With taxes and all, the official price of the dollar, which has gone from $229 to $377, is more than $90 below the blue, which was $469 at Friday’s close.

Besides the specific limitations, there is also the natural restriction implying the increasing amount of pesos they serve and which with devalued salaries (amid the current high inflation) is difficult to piece together. To purchase the $200 share, approximately $75,400 is required today..
