in July hoarding reached the highest level of the year

The traumatic departure of former Minister Guzmán, the advent of Batakis and the announced arrival of Massa took their toll in July: not only did private deposits in dollars fall by almost US$900 million, the BCRA sold reserves for US$1.284 billion, but also Hoarding also reached the highest level of the year with US$164 million. The Exchange Balance of the BCRA shows that last month the Net Formation of foreign assets of the non-financial private sector (FAE), also called capital flight in market jargon, totaled US$164 million, which implies an increase of 163%. monthly and 31% year-on-year, as a result of net ticket purchases of US$185 million, and net foreign exchange earnings of US$21 million. In this way, the accumulation of the first seven months of the year shows a hoarding of US$602 million (US$884 million from the purchase of tickets less US$282 million from the repatriation of investments), when in the same period of 2021 there was a repatriation of capital for US$74 million. This reversal of flows speaks clearly that something has changed in the mood of savers and investors.
