Another theory relates it to the purchase operations through bonds or stocks of companies known as “blue chips”. They also link it to the approximate color that appears when a fibron is applied to detect counterfeit bills.
Origin of the blue dollar
The blue dollar concept began to be used in Argentina from 2011, as a consequence of the restrictions for the acquisition of foreign currency that the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (AFIP) and the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic began to apply under the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
These limitations They gained new momentum in December 2019, following the announcements by President Alberto Fernández about the Economic Emergency Law. There, the implementation of the tourist dollar and the 30% tax on the purchase of dollars for savings and tourism were promoted. It entered into force on Monday, December 23, when it was announced in the Official Gazette.
This generates that sectors that travel abroad choose to buy dollars in the black market, thus generating an increase in the price of the blue dollar.
