Complaints about exchange delays return
The value of dollar remains far from what its fundamentals suggest and the exchange delay, which has already accumulated 2 years, is questioned from different sectors. This was the case of the industrialists, since the vice president of the CIU, Gabriel Murara, stated that the exchange rate It should be 44 or 45 pesos.
When referring to the 15% gap in real terms that the BCU, Murara clarified: “It is not the same to divide 70% of the added value into 38.50 pesos as it is to do it into 44 or 45 pesos at which the exchange rate should be.”
To these criticisms, which had already arisen since the exporters and the agricultural sector, recently added the dairy industry, from where they admitted that the value of dollar “hits against”, referring to the price of the milk.
