Since the government launched the money laundering It is an exclusive topic in the financial world. Much of the future value of the dollar depends on this measure. But for the most earthly economy, the day-to-day economy, it also has its importance.
For example, in the real estate sector there is a lot of expectation due to the boost to demand that the arrival of fresh dollars can give.
In it automotive market, At the moment, there are no clear signs that a concrete effect is being felt.
Opinions are divided because, until now, there is no clear trend on the impact of the “forgiveness” on these savers.
In a survey carried out by Scope Between dealerships, manufacturers and importers, the responses are disparate.
Obviously, it is believed that the premium brands or the high-end models would have to be the ones that benefit from greater demand, although small savers could also look for a way to place white money.
An importer of a major brand acknowledged that he had already carried out an operation with a client who laundered dollars.
