The foreign currency registered an appreciation of 10.28% at the end of 2021 due to the impact of political uncertainty and doubts about the economic outlook due to the new variants of the coronavirus.

At the regional level, the currencies of Latin America exhibited significant losses on Thursday, amid a global aversion to risk assets that boosted the dollar in world markets, while the stock markets of the region also fell, in a scenario of uncertainty regarding the future of the economy affected by various factors.

According to the Reuters agency, the dollar touched its highest levels in two decades on Thursday, driven by the general weakness of its main rivals, such as the yen and the euro.

The dollar index, which compares the greenback to a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.8% at 103.83, its highest since December 2002. The US currency has risen 10% since mid-November, and most of his gains have occurred in the last three months.

On Thursday, the dollar soared above the key 130 yen level for the first time since 2002, after the Bank of Japan doubled down on its easing policy, triggering a warning from the Finance Ministry not to push the yen too far.
