The value of the dollar, euro, and MLC rises in the informal currency market in Cuba.

The dollar, the euro, and the MLC are once again driving up their value in the Cuban informal market.


The value of the US dollar (USD) continues its rise this Monday in the informal currency market in Cuba, trading at 335 CUP. The European currency and the freely convertible currency (MLC) also increased in price.

The euro is trading at 340 CUP, five Cuban pesos more than the previous day.

The MLC, the virtual currency used by the Cuban regime, has risen to 280 CUP, which means five pesos more than on Sunday.

The increase has been sustained for about a week and came after a streak of decline in the three currencies.

On social media, some Cubans relate the shift in the informal currency market to the economic measures announced by the regime recently, including the option to return to cash payments in foreign currency in some services in Cuba.
