What is the “Blue Dollar”?
The “blue dollar” (dólar blue in Spanish) is the exchange rate for US dollars traded in the unofficial, parallel market in Argentina. It emerged due to strict capital controls imposed by the Argentine goverment, limiting access to US dollars at the official exchange rate. These controls were initially implemented to stem the outflow of capital and stabilize the Argentine peso, but they inadvertently created a thriving black market.
The rate is determined by supply and demand, and is typically significantly higher then the official exchange rate. This difference reflects a lack of confidence in the Argentine peso and the overall economic situation in the country. The blue dollar rate is closely watched by economists, investors, and the general public as an indicator of economic sentiment.
