While, the MEP or Stock Exchange -also valued with the Global 2030- climbs in the same proportion ($7.01) to $202.25so the exchange rate gap increases to 77.2%.
In this way, the exchange rates that operate in the Stock Market accumulate jumps of more than $10 in the last three days, due to hedging against high inflation, and after the announcement of new bonds by the Government, whose financing awakens some in the market. They had previously had collapses of more than $40 as a result of the announcement of the beginning of an understanding with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the end of January.
It is worth remembering that andhe Executive Branch announced on Monday a bonus of $18,000 for informal workers, private households, and monotributistas, and another of $12,000 for retirees (which is added to the previous bonus of $6,000), after knowing the highest quarterly inflation since 1991, which It fundamentally hits the most vulnerable sectors.
The financing of said monetary aid could be through indebtedness in pesos with the market, or through a tax on “unexpected income” as the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, intends.
However, if it fails to raise funds through these two channels, the Treasury should resort to a greater monetary issue from the BCRA, putting in check the goals agreed with the IMF and putting pressure on key macroeconomic variables such as the dollar and inflation.
“The financing channel for this is doubtful, because nobody has much idea about this new tax on ‘unexpected income’, so it is most likely that it will end up being financed with more issuance, something that will hit you in inflation (such as happened this summer with the issuance of the “platita plan” of 2021) and something in the exchange rate since more pesos would put pressure on the gap and this on the reserves of the Central Bank,” the Empiria economist told Ámbito, Juan Ignacio Paolicchi.
