ARThe Argentine currency market has drawn attention again due to the accumulation of dollars and expectations of a potential devaluation. Economist Roberto Rojas discussed these issues on RDEco, emphasizing that there are sectors with very different outcomes and highlighting signals observed in the market. He noted the accumulation of $11 billion from the 'cosecha gruesa' (bulk harvest) and $18 billion through the banking system in the first seven months. These figures suggest anticipation of a devaluation. Rojas warned that fully liberalizing the exchange rate could pose a risk to the government’s strategy, which has focused on restoring stability. He argued that the government needs a deeper strategy to leverage foreign exchange-generating sectors while developing domestic industries. Rojas highlighted opportunities like Vaca Muerta, a major oil field, as a chance to boost the economy by creating more value within Argentina rather than abroad.
