Dollar Prices in Cuba: Stability in the Informal Market

The most demanded currencies in the Cuban informal market, such as the dollar, euro, and MLC, have maintained another day of stability, without the usual price fluctuations that used to characterize them. Some might interpret this as a sign that the devaluation of the Cuban peso has halted. However, several economists disagree, arguing that many other conditions are still required to consider that the national currency has stopped losing value against foreign currencies.

The MLC was the last of these currencies to experience changes in its value. During August 8 and 9, its average selling price dropped twice consecutively. Nevertheless, it has stabilized at 275 CUP since August 10.
