Exchange Rate in Argentina
Argentina's exchange rate over the last decade was marked by significant depreciation against major currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar. Driven by economic instability, high inflation, and fiscal deficits, the peso's value eroded continuously. Government interventions, including currency controls and debt restructuring, provided temporary relief but could not stem the long-term decline. The peso saw a further sharp decline towards the end of 2023 after new President Javier Milei ordered an over-50% devaluation, but has since lost value at a controlled rate under the government’s crawling peg system; the parallel rate remains weaker than the official rate. The exchange rate ended 2022 at ARS 177.1 per USD, compared to the end-2021 value of ARS 102.7 per USD and the figure a decade earlier of ARS 6.5 per USD in Argentina.
