This marks a decrease of 2% compared to the same day last week, indicating fluctuations in the foreign exchange market. The MEP Dollar has also decreased by 5% from the previous month, demonstrating some level of stabilization in the currency after a volatile period.

Over the past year, however, the MEP Dollar has increased by 16%, rising from $1201.20 at the same time last year. This represents a significant increase and suggests that the MEP Dollar has been under upward pressure despite recent declines. The MEP Dollar, being a parallel exchange rate higher than the official dollar, is often seen as a more realistic indicator of the dollar's market value compared to the official exchange rate.

Additionally, there is a noted disparity between the MEP Dollar and the 'blue' dollar, which is another parallel exchange rate. Currently, the blue dollar is trading at $1410, showing a 0.90% gap compared to the MEP Dollar. Such differences highlight the complexities and fluctuations within Argentina's currency exchange system, which is essential for both saving and international trade activities in the country.
