The exchange rate tension that accelerated in the last days of August had generated distrust in many savers, fed in chains of WhatsApp and some publications in networks that stoked a supposed return of the corralito and called to retire the deposits in dollars of the banking system.

The dollar deposits of private companies in the local financial system reached a maximum of us$ 28,563 million on August 29. The following days showed successive declines, amid the increase in the price of the currency, although with a mild trend that most analysts did not consider too worrying, given the high starting point.
