The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Cuba (Segment III) remains at 624 CUP per dollar and 720 CUP per euro, significantly lower than the values that prevail in everyday practice in the informal currency market.
Although Segment III was introduced as a more flexible currency mechanism, its official rate remains far from that of the informal market and does not meet the real demand for foreign currency from the population.
The gap between the official and informal rates for the dollar exceeds 40 pesos, while for the euro it is close to 40 pesos as well, a distance that illustrates the disconnect between the formal economy and the everyday reality of Cubans.
