## 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.
