The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Cuba (Segment III), at 624 CUP per dollar and 720 CUP per euro, remains well below 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 significantly distant from that of the informal market and fails to meet the actual 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 nearly reaches 40 pesos as well, a disparity that illustrates the disconnection between the formal economy and the daily reality of Cubans.
