End of stock: what will happen to the MEP dollar
One of the key novelties is the elimination of the period of mandatory permanence, known as “parking“, which was governed for operations with bonds used to access the dollar MEP. Until now, those who bought titles should keep them for at least one business day before sell them and get dollars.
From Monday, this requirement will cease to be in force for natural persons, which allows the purchase and sale of bonds to be carried out in immediate form. This measure was accompanied by the repeal of the General Resolution 959/2023 of the National Securities Commission (CNV)in line with the lifting of exchange restrictions.
Another key change is that the new scheme opens the possibility of buying dollars directly through bank platforms without stops.
During the validity of the CEPO, the MEP became a usual tool for avoid the monthly limits of the official market And together with the Blue dollar, it represented one of the few accessible options for those who sought to make foreign currency without violating the standards.
In this new framework, the MEP dollar loses part of its prominence as an alternative route and ceases to be the only form enabled within the legal framework.
The implementation of a flotation band for the official exchange rate, with Minimum and maximum pre -established values Between $ 1,000 and $ 1,400, is another relevant measure. This seeks to reduce the distance between the different dollar quotesin particular with the MEPwhich used to quote above the officer due to previous restrictions.
With this new mechanism, he Central Bank may intervene To maintain the value of the dollar Within those margins, which tends to stabilize the price of the MEP. Consequently, speculative strategies such as the “pure dollar”, which consisted of buying dollars at the official value and selling them at a higher price in the stock market, They cease to be profitable In this scenario of lower gap.
