In a move that few expected, although it had been anticipated by the Government of Javier Milei, the official dollar keeps dropping and is now practically at the same values it had before the lifting of the currency controls.
This Monday, April 21, the rate at Banco Nación was $1,110 for sale, just 2 pesos above the $1,108 it marked before the opening of the exchange market.
Far from the catastrophic forecasts that circulated for weeks, both from political and media sectors, the US currency began a downward trend that surprised everyone. Last Monday, the official dollar had reached a peak of $1,233, but since then it accumulated a drop of $123, thus deflating the expectations of a supposed "devaluation" that some "econochantas" and professional commentators were stirring up.
The Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, was one of the first to celebrate this drop and criticize the baboons who tried to destabilize the economic plan. Through his account on the social network X, he wrote: "Dollar at 1065 at this moment, below the official dollar, prior to the lifting of the currency controls", and added: "Once again, we did what we said we were going to do, and what we said was going to happen happened".
