The recent end of stocks To the dollar and the implementation of a scheme of flotation bands have generated a significant change in the Argentine economy, impacting in a diverse way in key sectors such as food, real estate market and tourism.
This new economic panorama. with the exit of stockshas brought both challenges and opportunities, while industries adjust their strategies to adapt to the new rules of the game. The food sector has been one of the first to feel the effects of change in the exchange scheme.
Supermarkets have received price lists with increases of up to 9% in essential products, such as oils, flours and personal cleaning and personal hygiene products. This increase responds, in part, to the pressure exerted by the initial devaluation of the peso within the flotation bands, which has led the official dollar to be located between $ 1200 and $ 1250.
In addition, many inputs used in food production, such as additives, containers and raw materials, are imported, which increases production costs. This raises a dilemma for companies: moving these costs to the consumer could affect sales, especially in a context where consumers’ purchase capacity is limited.
However, not doing so could negatively impact the profit margins of companies. The real estate market has also experienced significant changes. The elimination of stocks The dollar has facilitated access to foreign exchange, which could boost sale operations and mortgage loans.
Under the new scheme, the official dollar is used as a reference, eliminating the distortions that existed with the parallel dollar. This has generated positive expectations in the sector, with an increase in the demand for properties and greater predictability for buyers and vendors.

However, inflation remains a determining factor. The grape adjustable mortgage loans, which have shown a monthly growth of 13.2% in March, are directly influenced by the evolution of the price index. Although the new exchange scheme could offer advantages, such as greater stability in the exchange rate, it also raises risks if inflation is not properly controlled.
Tourism is another sector that has been affected by the change in the exchange scheme by the output of the stocks. The elimination of the stocks to the dollar and the greater availability of foreign exchange could attract more international tourists, especially if the exchange rate is favorable for them. This could benefit local economies, especially in key tourist regions such as Salta, Bariloche and Mendoza.
