Today, March 13, 2026, the exchange rate of the blue dollar in Argentina stands at $1400 for buying and $1420 for selling. Compared to the previous month, the blue dollar has seen a decrease of 1%, indicating a slight stabilization in its value after fluctuating in recent weeks. However, over the course of the year, the blue dollar has increased by 15% compared to 2025, reflecting ongoing economic challenges and inflationary pressures in the country.

Additionally, the blue dollar continues to present a significant disparity from the official dollar rate. The difference amounts to 3%, signaling the strained relationship between the official exchange rate, which is set by banks, and the black market's blue dollar rate. This disparity often leads to difficulties for citizens attempting to conduct transactions or saving in a more stable currency, further complicating Argentina's economic landscape.

The term 'blue dollar' refers to the currency traded in the informal market, usually at a higher rate than the official dollar which is accessible through banks and official exchange houses. The rate for the blue dollar is typically adjusted at the same time as the official dollar, around 3 PM from Monday to Friday, giving market participants a clear schedule for currency trading and speculation.
