The “blue” denomination is related to the informal market and the perception that it is a darker or riskier option compared to the official dollar.
The foreign exchange market in Argentina has witnessed a series of adjustments and economic policies in an attempt to control inflation and stabilize the currency. However, the exchange gap persists, and the difference between the blue dollar and the official dollar continues to be a key indicator of the country’s economic health.
