The inflationary escalation that could reach 100% this year, a high fiscal deficit, few reserves in the Central Bank (BCRA) and political and social tensions create an uncertain climate among investors seeking hedges.
The Parallel Dollar “For several months I had been running after a very high nominal value, because the interest rate in pesos, the treasury hike and the BCRA through, were encouraging speculative positions in pesos. In fact, we saw the stock of fixed-term deposits private sector to reach new real highs in the last few weeks. With which, in any case, it would be beginning to ‘catch up’ with the rest of the nominality”indicated to Ambit the economist from Consultora Ledesma, Gabriel Caamano.
