As for the restless Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), it remains unchanged today at 395 CUP, the same price at which it was sold yesterday.

The decline of the euro today occurs within a context marked by the recent issuance of 2,000 and 5,000 peso bills by the Central Bank of Cuba (BCC), a measure that has been interpreted by the population as a clear sign of inflation and devaluation of the Cuban peso.
In addition, the stagnation of the "floating rate" of the BCC continues, which keeps the official euro at around 554 CUP, well below the value that applies in the informal market.
This growing gap reinforces the perception that the official exchange rate still does not reflect the country's economic reality.
