Near the Government they see an official dollar at $ 95 and the “blue” at $ 200
The distance between the $ 67 that the “official” dollar trades and the $ 115, $ 118 or $ 122 that the free dollars (in its MEP versions, counted with liquidation and blue) it is increasingly wide, and already exceeds 80%. However, everything indicates that the worst has not yet been seen, at least judging by the rumors that circulated in the Buenos Aires City in recent days, in which sources very close to the Casa Rosada warn that at the end of the year the dollar Officer will be around $ 95, and the “cash with liqui” or blue would be worth $ 200.
In other words, expectations are being raised among the officials themselves thatthe distance between the parallel and the official exchange rate could be around 100%.
