Why is the exchange rate important?
“We are a country very 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 food in the livestock industry depends on it, in addition to the production of bread and derivatives. This, at the same time, influences the basic family basket. A similar panorama occurs with fuel, which is also purchased from the international market.
What factors influence the behavior of the dollar in Peru?
Two factors influence. The first is the relationship that Peru has with the dollar’s reference nation, the United States. And the second is expectation, which consists of “a feeling of risk.”
According to UPC Finance professor, Jorge Luis Ojeda, “when interest rates here are higher than in the United States, the exchange rate goes down because it is more attractive to place money in soles, then (foreign) capital comes; But when the relationship is inverse, the dollar rises.”
On the other hand, “if we see that here in Peru there is some type of risk, people immediately try to buy dollars and that obviously drives the dollar up.”
