On Wednesday, August 13, the Argentine exchange market was once again the protagonist of the economic day, with the price of the Blue dollar and the dollar Officer at the Center for Public Attention. In a context of high volatility and persistent financial uncertainty, the values of the American currency reflect both internal tensions and the expectations of economic actors in the face of government policies.
According to the data relieved, the dollar Blue quoted at $ 1310 for purchase and $ 1330 for sale. Meanwhile, the official dollar at the Nation Bank quoted at $ 1290 for purchase and $ 1330 for sale. The gap between both exchange rates was maintained around 2%, a relatively low difference if compared to previous periods, where the spread came to exceed 100%.
This partial convergence between the informal and the officer has been interpreted by some analysts as a stabilization signal, although others warn that it could be a temporary pause in the midst of a dynamic still fragile.
During the first days of August, the blue dollar showed a slight decline compared to the previous month, with a 1%drop, while so far in 2025, the accumulated decrease is 1.87%. This trend contrasts with the increases registered in previous years.
Fountain: Dollar today
In 2024, the dollar Blue closed around $ 1230, which represented an increase of 16.7% compared to the start of the year. In 2023, the rise was more pronounced, with an increase of $ 654 from the closing $ 346 in 2022.
In 2022, the jump was 66.4%, and in 2021, of 25.3%, although below the inflation of that year (50.9%). These data show that, although the Blue dollar has had moments of strong escalation, in 2025 its behavior has been more content, possibly influenced by exchange control measures, indirect intervention of the State and a lower seasonal demand.
Other types of dollar
In addition to the Blue and the officer, the market offers other variants of the dollar which reflect different forms of access to the currency: dollar MEP: $ 1323.46. CCL dollar (counted with liquidation): $ 1324.07. Crypto dollar: $ 1315.67. Dollar Card (tourist): $ 1729
The dollar card, which includes tax perceptions, remains the most expensive in the market, used for consumption abroad and online purchases in foreign currency. Its value reflects the tax burden that applies to the official exchange rate.
