“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 feed in the livestock industry, as well as the production of bread and derivatives, depends on it. This, at the same time, influences the basic family basket. A similar situation occurs with fuel, which is also purchased on the international market.
