Dollars: banks recovered deposits worth US$ 2.3 billion since the change of Government. They had fallen a lot since the PASO in August.
They rose 17% since December and helped reinforce reserves. The dollars that Argentines keep in the financial system are an informal thermometer of political risk.. People tend to withdraw money during periods of volatility and deposit savings in more stable times. That is why they had fallen sharply in October and November of last year, during the election months.
