Exchange controls in Argentina, in force since 2011, have strengthened a dollar black market and the proliferation of the so-called "arbolitos," or street money changers, whose "blue" dollar coexists with a handful of official exchange rates. But for some time now, exchange rates have been calm, contributing to the government's aspirations to contain inflation, which it managed to reduce from 200% to 166% year-on-year as of November 2024.
