What is the CCL (Contado con Liquidación)?
The CCL dollar is the implicit exchange rate for moving USD abroad through Argentina's capital markets. It is built by buying a local asset (AL30 bond or a CEDEAR) and selling its foreign counterpart (AL30D in New York, or the underlying stock on NYSE), with USD settlement in an offshore bank account.
Because of the extra offshore-settlement cost, CCL typically trades above MEP. The CCL-MEP difference is a proxy for the cost of pulling USD out of Argentina and widens under FX pressure or expectations of tighter capital controls.
It is used by companies paying imports or foreign services when MULC access is restricted, by funds reallocating international capital, and by individuals who want to hold USD offshore. Unlike the blue, CCL is legal and fully auditable.
Common questions
What is the CCL dollar rate today?
The CCL rate is shown above, refreshed every 5 minutes. dolarapi.com tracks the typical implicit rate on AL30 / GD30 including market commissions.
CCL or MEP — which should I use?
It depends on where you want the USD. If you need them in Argentina: MEP (cheaper). If you need them offshore: CCL. The CCL-MEP difference is the cost of that offshore transfer.
Why is CCL higher than MEP?
Because it incorporates the cost of settling in a foreign jurisdiction: higher commissions, USD market-maker spread, and under FX stress, a premium for being the most accessible capital-flight route.
Which assets are used for CCL?
The most common are AL30 (and GD30) — which also trade in New York — and CEDEARs of stocks like AAPL, TSLA or GOOGL with highly liquid foreign underlyings.
Is CCL legal?
Yes. CCL trades are executed through Argentine and foreign capital markets and are fully legal. Regulatory requirements (parking days, operational quotas) change over time; always check current CNV/BCRA rules.
