Dollar keeps dropping
Colombian exporters have been dealing with the worst case scenario these says due to consistent decline in U.S. currency prices. The dollar dropped 17 pesos yesterday, landing just below the 1.900 peso mark, a complicated twist considering how much employment the export sector generates.
Analysts say the election of Juan Manuel Santos as President of Colombia, along with China’s decision to allow more flexibility in the yuan’s exchange rate and Colombia’s Central Bank’s decision to not extend dollar purchases past June 30 favor the peso’s trend towards revaluation.
