In Argentina, titles or shares are being bought to later sell them abroad. One way to do this is by acquiring the MEP dollar. For this, it is necessary to buy a bond in pesos and then sell it in dollars, considering whether there are commissions. The process is carried out through home banking, selecting the option "Investments" or "MEP dollar", choosing the amount in pesos, reviewing the details, and confirming the operation.

In the Argentine market, there are several types of dollars, with the most relevant being: the official dollar, the retail and wholesale dollar, the blue dollar, the MEP dollar or Stock Exchange dollar, and the Cash with Settlement (CCL) dollar, which is a legal operation to obtain dollars abroad. Each exchange rate has its particularities and access restrictions, so it is important to verify the conditions of each financial entity.
Interest in the U.S. currency has increased in Argentina, possibly motivated by economic or political factors that generate expectations of devaluation.
