At 30 days, the euro is positioned 95 pesos above the 793 CUP of that period.
The highest recorded in the last month is 889 CUP and the lowest is 792 CUP.
The euro surpasses the dollar by 95 pesos, consolidating its dominant position in the Cuban parallel market.
The MLC, with indicative value due to low volume
The MLC is priced around 551 Cuban pesos (CUP) on average, with a purchase at 500 CUP and a sale at 601 CUP.
This figure should be taken with caution, as the source warns of a low volume of transactions during this time period.
Regarding the previous day, the MLC has increased by 23 pesos from the 528 CUP recorded yesterday, representing a rise of 4.4%.
However, in the last week it has declined by 47.5 pesos compared to the 598 CUP from seven days ago.
In the last 30 days, it has fluctuated between a maximum of 603 CUP and a minimum of 446 CUP.
The gap with the official rate is increasingly widening
The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Cuba (Segment III), at 707 CUP per dollar and 791 CUP per euro, remains far below the values that prevail in everyday practice in the informal currency market.
The difference between the official and informal prices today reaches 86 pesos for the dollar and 97 pesos for the euro.
In the past month, the official dollar has risen from 655 to 707 CUP, while in the informal market it has increased from 694 to 793 CUP, demonstrating that the gap, rather than narrowing, remains structurally open.
The gap between the official exchange rate and the informal one reflects the ongoing shortage of foreign currency in the state banking system and the high demand for dollars and euros among the population, whether for emigration, importing goods, safeguarding savings, or making purchases in the private sector.
