* Gap Between Illegal and Official Dollar Shortening

January 6, 2019

The scale of price between the official dollar and the illegal one narrows little by little, given the rates established in recent weeks by the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV), which is the only body authorized to assess the cost of currency in the country.

 

According to data from the last auction, held on Friday, December 28, the BCV set the price of the US currency at 638.18 sovereign bolivars, it is Bs.S 133.31 below the illegal one.

 

According to analysts, this tendency will provide greater dynamism to the economy.

 

It is estimated that auctions of the Complementary Exchange Rate (Dicom), will resume next Monday, January 7.
