A few weeks ago, the Central Bank intervened in the exchange market to control the upward trend in the price of the dollar. Partially, the entity prevented the currency from breaking the historical barrier of $1,000 once more. Currently, however, the exchange rate is conditioned by external factors, such as the repercussions on the global economy of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In 2022, the price of the dollar has been marked by uncertainty, generating concern among political and economic authorities. The price of the North American currency registered a historical value in the month of July, with several days above $1,000, and today it is a topic of maximum interest for Chileans as well.
It happens that the increase in the exchange rate has an impact on the economic situation of households. Many goods and products that families purchase come from abroad and have therefore seen their prices increase. This contingency also influences the increase in inflation.
