The fourth month of the year has arrived and, for those who meet the necessary requirements, it is renewed again the possibility of acquire the monthly quota of U$S 200 at official price.
The list of requirements for those who want to access the “savings dollar” is very extensiveand it was expanding as a result of the aid measures offered by the government in the framework of the pandemic, and the structural shortage of foreign currency that the country has been going through for at least six years.
The main concept that governs the requirements to access the savings dollar is that those who have received or still receive some type of benefit or assistance from the State are excluded from the possibility of accessing the purchase of foreign currency. In other words, it is assumed that whoever needs the State to help them does not have the necessary surplus to immobilize funds by buying dollars.

A first element to take into account is the novelty implemented at the beginning of 2023, which is added to the list and has to do with the saver’s income. The banking entities request that the person who wishes to acquire the US$200 receive a net salary equivalent to at least the sum of two times the minimum, vital and mobile salary. This vital and mobile minimum wage will become $80,342 in March, so that as of this month To access the savings dollar, you must earn at least $160,684 per month.
It is evident that the objective of the access restrictions is to limit demand as much as possible of US currencies. In this way, if the saver manages to gather the necessary income, he must also observe compliance with an extensive list of conditions prior to accessing the official exchange market. Below is a summary of them.
