Argentina’s Split Dollar Market Holds Steady Into Weekend as Blue Reaches $1,415

Weekend reference quotes show mild declines in MEP/CCL alongside a large premium on taxed card purchases.

Overview

  • In Buenos Aires, the blue dollar was quoted at $1,395 for buying and $1,415 for selling, matching late‑week levels reported by city dealers.
  • Banco Nación’s official rate stood at $1,395 for buying and $1,445 for selling, with financial dollars around $1,449.90/$1,458 (MEP) and $1,471/$1,474.60 (CCL).
  • The taxed card and savings rate was $1,878.50, leaving a roughly 35% premium over the informal blue price.
  • Sunday is a non‑trading day, so all quotes reflect the last business session’s close used as weekend references.
  • The central bank’s 90‑day bar on those who buy the official dollar from operating in MEP or CCL remains in force, as the government is reported to be negotiating a USD 20 billion credit line to bolster reserves.
