In this issue: the Argentine Peso plunges against the U.S. dollar, Venezuela and Russia agree to develop a joint SWIFT alternative, and Bitcoin mining is still paused in Venezuela.
Аргентынскі песа ўпаў на 10% адносна даляра
The Argentine Peso has страчаны more than 10% against the U.S. dollar during the last week, going from less than 400 pesos per dollar in the informal blue exchange rate to more than 440 on April 21. The cause of this sudden rise has to do with the perceived weakness of the Argentine government, which has been unable to control the rise of inflation, which дасягнуты inter-annual levels of more than 100% in March, the highest in all of Latam.
The country currently holds $2 billion in its foreign currency рэзерв, a low number when compared to the reserves of Brazil, an economy five times the size of Argentina, which holds approximately $350 billion in foreign currency. This has caused Argentines to purchase dollars to take refuge from devaluation of the peso, with analysts predicting its price reaching ўзроўні of over 500 pesos per dollar later this year.
