This behavior of the exchange rate began to impact different areas of the Uruguayan market, which stopped taking the dollar as a reference and resumed selling and publishing prices in pesos. The trend is gaining ground again due to the sustained depreciation of the US currency.
With this new decline, the dollar consolidates a negative streak. After a 2025 marked by the decline of the currency, it has accumulated a drop of 0.58% so far this month. In this scenario, criticism resurfaces about the level of the exchange rate in Uruguay, while analysts warn that a combination of external factors and internal conditions explains the weakness of the dollar.
At Banco República (BROU), the retail dollar bill stood at 37.55 pesos for purchase and 40.05 pesos for sale. In turn, the eBROU dollar was quoted at 38.05 pesos for purchase and 39.55 pesos for sale, figures that accompany the downward trend of the market.
At the international level, the dollar index advanced 0.27% and stood at 99.14 points, after the dissemination of data that reflected slower than expected employment growth in the United States.
