At dawn on this Thursday, for the first time in more than two months, the dollar and the euro opened with respective price increases in the Cuban informal market, something that had not occurred simultaneously since July 29.

This increase occurred after elTOQUE reported, in an article published this Tuesday, that in some stores in freely convertible currency on the island, the purchase of products with cash in foreign currency is being allowed.

The source revealed that workers from the Cadena de Tiendas Caribe and the Corporación Cimex S. A. reported that some retail establishments already accept payments in dollars and euros, while others are preparing to start accepting cash in foreign currency.
