Friday, October 11, 2024 by Daniel Vasquez

The US dollar continues to show signs of increasing in Cuba's informal market, albeit at a slow and fluctuating pace. As of Friday morning, the dollar has slightly risen in value, with its street selling price moving from 323 to 324 CUP.

In contrast, the euro and the Freely Convertible Currency (MLC) have maintained their current rates. The euro remains steady at 340 CUP, while the MLC is stable at 265 CUP. An analysis of the median values of these three currencies over the past 24 hours indicates that the average selling price of the dollar now stands at 325 CUP. This trend suggests a potential for further increases in its value.
