After a long period with an upward trend, the price of the dollar is currently in decline and has remained slightly below $800. This constitutes a favorable fact in the midst of the current economic problems, due to the impact that the exchange rate has on the country’s situation.
Indeed, the value of the US currency can affect the daily life of Chileans in multiple ways. A high price of the exchange rate, as occurred in July 2022 when it exceeded the $1,000 barrier, for example, has a significant influence on the increase in the cost of living. This is the case, because, for example, all imports are paid in dollars, from fuels, inputs and household appliances.
