The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Cuba (Segment III) remains at 624 CUP per dollar and 720 CUP per euro, well below the values that govern everyday practice in the informal currency market.
Segment III was introduced as a more flexible exchange mechanism, but its official rate remains far from that of the informal market and does not meet the actual demand for foreign currency from the population.
In the last month, the official dollar has risen from 592 to 624 CUP, and the official euro from 674 to 720 CUP, but the gap with the informal market remains around 41 pesos for the dollar and 40 pesos for the euro.
In a scenario of sustained inflation, low state wages, and increasing partial dollarization of the economy, every change in the informal market directly affects internal prices and the purchasing power of Cubans.
The CiberCuba Exchange Rate is an index of the informal Cuban market created through the automated analysis of thousands of currency buying and selling posts in Telegram and Facebook groups; the calculation disregards atypical offers and spam messages, weighs each transaction according to its age, and consolidates a representative value that is updated several times a day.
