Why are there so many dollars in Argentina?
Argentina has lived for years under FX controls (*cepo cambiario*) that restrict access to the official rate for savings, foreign payments and non-authorized imports. That restriction created a menu of parallel dollars that replicate, through different channels, the price at which an Argentine can actually access USD.
The blue is the informal cash market. MEP and CCL arise from bond trades (AL30 / AL30D) on BYMA — legal and bank-settled, with MEP settling in Argentina and CCL abroad. The card rate is the official plus taxes and applies to card consumption abroad. The wholesale rate is what BCRA uses in the MULC.
The spread between the official and the free rates (blue, MEP, CCL) works as a thermometer: when it widens, the market is pricing in devaluation, USD scarcity or more restrictions. When it narrows, the official converges to the free-market equilibrium.
