Then its value was promoted by the momentary reactivation of the offer of some products in the stores in MLC, such as cigarettes, and the demand arising to buy those products and their resale in the informal market.
In that context it jumped from 240 CUP – its lowest value in months – up to 285 CUP in just a few weeks. However, then he suddenly stopped and gradually began to retreat, in a progressive downward trend which coincides with the appreciations of experts.
