Since the lifting of foreign exchange controls for individuals in Argentina, citizens have purchased nearly USD 45,000 billion. During the first seven months of 2026, purchases exceeded USD 18,000 billion, driven by 1.7 million people buying USD 3,319 billion in July alone.

Concurrently, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) has accumulated USD 14,049 billion in purchases over the same period up to the first Friday of August 2026. These figures reflect ongoing currency demand and central bank intervention following the policy change.

Separately, rental prices in Miami and South Florida experienced a 2.6 percent decline during the peak rental season, bringing the median rent down to USD 2,277 despite historical trends of seasonal price increases.
