“We are a country that is highly dependent on the exchange rate. A large part of our economy is associated with imported goods that are purchased in dollars,” emphasized Jorge Luis Ojeda.
For example, the country buys wheat at the cost of foreign currency and the food in the livestock industry depends on that, in addition to the preparation of bread and derivatives. That, at the same time, influences the basic family basket. A similar scenario occurs with fuel, which is also purchased from the international market.
