Reference exchange rate

1 USD ≈ 1,050 ARS

The US dollar is the most widely used international reference currency in Argentina. Its relationship with the Argentine peso directly affects purchasing power, import prices, and the savings decisions of millions of people.

What does this mean for you?

When the exchange rate rises, your peso buys less in dollars. This can impact the price of imported products, technology services, and international travel. Understanding this dynamic helps you better plan your expenses and savings.

These values are approximate and for purely educational purposes. Consult official sources such as the BCRA for updated data.

Tips for Your Financial Planning

Practical tools and strategies to protect your assets in the Argentine context.

Personal Budget

Create a monthly budget that accounts for your real income, fixed and variable expenses. Identify money leaks and reallocate resources to your priorities.

Emergency Fund

Set aside 3 to 6 months of basic expenses in an accessible instrument. This cushion protects you against unexpected events without needing to take on debt.

Inflation Protection

Diversify your savings among instruments that adjust for inflation, such as UVA fixed-term deposits or CER bonds. Don't let your money sit idle losing value.

Long-Term Savings

Set clear goals for 1, 3, and 5 years. Automate transfers on payday so that saving doesn't depend solely on willpower.
