Dollar price today in Peru: what is the exchange rate for this Wednesday, December 21

Finance expert Jorge Carrillo Acosta spoke about the role of the exchange rate that offers the Sunat. “Actually it is a reference for tax issues. For example, a company that has its accounting in soles in the vast majority and if it buys something in dollars, it has to use the exchange rate sale on the day of the transaction (the day the invoice is issued). Then it serves so that this person can know at what exchange rate he registers in his accounting, in his tax return, the purchase of this good or service, “he commented.

The US currency is listed as follows, according to the portal cuantoestaeldolar.pe:

“We are a country that is highly dependent on the exchange rate. A large part of our economy is associated with imported goods that are purchased in dollars,” emphasized Jorge Luis Ojeda.

For example, the country buys wheat at the cost of foreign currency and the food in the livestock industry depends on that, in addition to the preparation of bread and derivatives. That, at the same time, influences the basic family basket. A similar scenario occurs with fuel, which is also purchased from the international market.

Two factors play a role. The first is the relationship that Peru has with the benchmark nation of the dollar, the United States. And the second is the expectation, which consists of “a feeling of risk”.

According to the Finance professor at UPC, Jorge Luis Ojeda, “when interest rates here are higher than in the United States, the exchange rate falls because it is more attractive to place money in soles, then (foreign) capital comes; but when the relationship is reversed, the dollar rises”.

On the other hand, “if we see that here in Peru there is some type of risk, immediately people try to buy dollars and that obviously boosts the dollar.”
