What each rate measures
- Official dollar
- The retail rate banks charge the public in the official market. Above is the selling rate reported by DolarApi; the BCRA bar shows the official average.
- Blue dollar
- The informal market rate, outside the banking system. It has no official source: the value comes from surveys of informal exchange houses published by the media.
- MEP dollar
- The MEP dollar (electronic payment market), or “stock-market dollar”, comes from buying a bond or stock in pesos and selling it in dollars inside Argentina. It is a legal operation done through a bank or broker.
- CCL dollar
- The CCL (contado con liquidación) works like the MEP, but the dollars are credited to an account abroad. That is why companies and investors use it as their usual reference.
- FX gap
- The percentage difference between a financial dollar and the official one. Here it is (CCL ÷ official − 1) × 100, with selling rates.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the MEP dollar and the CCL?
Both come from buying a bond or a share in pesos and selling it in dollars. With the MEP the dollars stay in an account in Argentina; with the contado con liquidación (CCL) they are credited to an account abroad. That is why the CCL is usually a little more expensive and is the benchmark for companies and investors.
Why has the blue dollar no official source?
Because it trades outside the banking system and the stock exchange. Its price comes from surveys of informal exchange houses published by the media and quote sites; no public body measures it.
What is the FX gap?
The percentage difference between a financial dollar and the official one. On this page it is computed between the CCL and the official rate, with selling prices: (CCL ÷ official − 1) × 100.
How often are the rates updated?
The rates are read every five minutes. During trading hours they show their change against the previous business day's close; outside market hours the last close stays.
