These days, a page presumably associated with the Cuban government, called “El Dato,” has been making itself felt on the social network Facebook, whose only daily function is to report on the informal currency rate in Cuba, in contrast to other independent media.
For example, this morning of May 4, El Dato, on its page, without further explanation of how it obtained that reference (as El Toque does) pointed out that these were the prices of the dollar, euro and MLC in Cuba today. The dollar detailed that it was at 320 pesos, the euro at 327 pesos, the currency at 279 pesos for the zelle and the Freely Convertible Currency (MLC) at 270 pesos.
If you are a regular in the black currency market, you will realize that the reality of that market has little to do with these prices, which is why many Cubans point out that this page is an attempt to solve inflation and the price of currencies by of the Cuban state, something that got out of hand months ago.
“Given the inability to contain inflation and the collapse of the peso, the Cuban regime promotes a new informal rate that they have called “the data”… according to this page, today the dollar is quoted at 320 pesos on the street. “They live and govern in a parallel reality,” https://twitter.com/mjorgec1994/status/1786418280300785770 In this regard, the user of the social network X, Magdiel Castro.
Dato and the informal currency rate in Cuba
Of course, after the appearance of Dato and its particular informal currency rate in Cuba, lower than the real rate on the street, hundreds of Cubans expressed their opinion online.
“Sterile and stupid because when you go to look for it at 320 no one is going to sell it to you at that price… and that’s where “the Data” got screwed. They don’t end up being ridiculous, but they already have another”, “Just because they make it cheaper doesn’t mean it’s better. There doesn’t have to be Touch or Data or anything, the state has to sell in cup and unlock the dollar” or “Good luck finding someone who sells USD at $320”, were other comments on the matter.
The situation with the price of currencies remains uncontrolled, beyond the “Data” and its new informal currency rate, the reality is that the price of the dollar and the euro is rising everywhere, and only the state can put a limit on that. .
