Currency Trends in Cuba's Black Market Today

Friday, October 25, 2024 by Ernesto Alvarez

As of Wednesday morning, the MLC, a virtual currency operated by the Cuban government in specific stores, has returned to a value of 265 CUP. This follows a brief dip in its value the previous day. Meanwhile, both the dollar and the euro continue to be valued at the same rates they've held for several days now: 325 CUP for the dollar and 340 CUP for the euro, according to the independent media outlet elTOQUE, which tracks currency fluctuations.

In light of an increasingly tense economic climate and a stagnating economy, the minimal activity in the informal market is noteworthy. The Cuban government has extended the suspension of all educational activities and non-essential work until October 27. This decision underscores the ongoing economic challenges faced by the nation.
