On another note, 6,693,065 individuals and 85,279 legal persons bought foreign exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concentration can also be observed, as stated in the BCRA\u2019s report, when segregating individuals and legal persons: just 1% of companies that made net purchases bought USD 41.124 billion, and only 1% of individuals that were net purchasers bought USD 16.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon taking office in 2015, Mauricio Macri\u2019s administration opened the door for a first stage of capital inflow, which extended to early 2018; 8 out of 10 dollars that entered the country derived from debt issue and speculative capital. The inflow of foreign exchange from government and private debt, and speculative portfolio investments amounted to USD 100 billion. Upon the reversal of capital flows in early 2018, the government decided to turn to the <a href=\"https:\/\/imf.org\/\">International Monetary Fund<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.futuresandoptions.gr\/en\/forex-why-is-it-better-to-test-the-demo-account-first\/\">IMF<\/a>), which granted a record loan for USD 44.5 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the 2015-2019 period, capital flight tripled. Even during the first stage of large capital inflows, residents\u2019 build-up of foreign assets climbed to USD 41.1 billion. As from May 2018 capital flight accelerated, escalating to USD 45.1 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The set of economic policies implemented from December 2015 facilitated capital flight worth over USD 86 billion and created the conditions that unleashed a new crisis derived from external debt overhang, according to a report prepared by the BCRA at the request of the Federal Executive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4139,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,14],"tags":[1071,1069,1070],"class_list":["post-4138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-forex-2","category-financial-news","tag-bcra","tag-foreign-exchange-market","tag-international-monetary-fund"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
