The battle against the dollar will inaugurate another chapter this Tuesday when new exchange restrictions are released.
As of tomorrow, the controls that limit the purchase of cash with liquidation (CCL) to those who have taken credit (guarantee or passes) will enter into force, while the brokerage firms (ALYCS) will only be able to buy CCL or MEP in a parallel round called Senebi (Bilateral Negotiation Segment).
The measure ordered by the CNV generated different readings in the market.
On the one hand, it is expected to deflate the demand for cash operations with leveraged liquidity with a guarantee, a credit tool used by operators and investors to finance their transactions with pesos, dollars or titles.
But it will also multiply the parallel prices, with the incorporation of the "Senebi" dollar, at a more expensive price.
