RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The Central Bank of Argentina resolved this Thursday (28) to enable foreign tourists to open a bank account in which they can deposit dollars for their expenses in pesos during their visit. This measure seeks to attract foreign currency at a growing appetite for the U.S. currency in the South American country.
Using a resolution adopted by the board of directors of the monetary authority, foreign tourists visiting Argentina will be able to open a bimonetary savings account (U.S. dollars and Argentine pesos) virtually or upon their arrival in the country and use this. . .
