The month of September began with moderate movements in the Argentine exchange market, in a context marked by political uncertainty, the proximity of the provincial elections and the persistent inflationary pressure. This Monday, September 1, the quotes of the dollar Officer and the Blue dollar remained relatively stable, although with an exchange gap that is still the object of analysis by economists and financial operators.
According to the average financial entities surveyed by the Central Bank, the dollar Officer quoted at $ 1,319.02 for purchase and $ 1,361.42 for sale. In the National Bank, the value was slightly lower: $ 1,320 for purchase and $ 1,360 for sale.
These values reflect a slight rise with respect to the previous day, consolidating an upward trend that has been observed since mid -August. So far this year, the official dollar has accumulated an increase of 24.73%, if compared to the first days of January, when it was around $ 1,061.83.
This evolution responds to the flotation bands policy implemented by the Government since April, which allows the exchange rate to move between $ 1,000 and $ 1,400, with a monthly update of 1%.
