On a day marked by relative stability in exchange markets, the dollar Blue and the official dollar showed quotes that reflect both the intervention of the Central Bank and the persistent economic uncertainty that Argentina is going through.
This Thursday, August 7, 2025, the reference values for both currencies remained without shocks, although with signs that analysts follow closely. According to the data relieved by different financial means: Dollar Blue quote $ 1300 for purchase and $ 1320 for sale.
Meanwhile, the dollar Officer, which is offered at Banco Nación, is traded at $ 1295 for purchase and $ 1345 for sale. The gap between both exchange rates remained around 0%, an unusual situation in the Argentine economy, where historically the blue dollar usually exceeds the officer.
This parity is explained, in part, by the daily intervention of the Central Bank in the market, which has been using reserves to contain volatility. The Blue dollar is the exchange rate that is negotiated in the informal market, outside the banking and official circuit.
During the month of August, the dollar Blue showed a 3% rise compared to the previous month. However, so far from the year 2025, it has registered a 4.76% drop compared to the closure of 2024.
This decline is attributed to the exchange control policy and the lower demand for currencies in the informal market. In contrast, the official dollar has followed a more stable trajectory, with gradual adjustments that respond to the central bank strategy to avoid sudden jumps in the exchange rate.
Central Bank Intervention
The relative calm in the exchange market is due, in large part, to the intervention of the Central Bankwhich has been “burning reservations” to avoid a exchange run. This strategy, although effective in the short term, generates concern among economists for the level of available reserves and the sustainability of monetary policy.
In addition, the political and economic context remains uncertain. Negotiations with international organizations, persistent inflation and lack of economic growth generate doubts about the government’s ability to maintain exchange stability without resorting to drastic measures.
