The balance of the first week with FX controls

Second week
September 2019

So far, the current controls have been enough to bring some calm to the FX market and to stabilize the wholesale exchange rate at 56 pesos per dollar, while the CB has modified its way of intervening: it is no longer using auctions in which it pre-announces the amount it will sell but instead it makes discretionary interventions. From what can be observed after they released their monetary statistics, the reserve sales fell between USD 100 to 150 million daily, compared to the average USD 300 million prior to the normative change.
