agree philgoddard : Presumably meaning 'wheel clamp'. This is about dollarization. http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=cepo

Yep! Thanks!
neutral Francois Boye : The restriction is not on any currency. It is only relevant to hard/ foreign currencies.// You know that the Argentinian authorities are cracking down on trading on foreign exchange, which devalues the local currency.

An unnecessary and incorrect clarification. It was not possible to purchase currencies of any kind.
agree Joaquín Carrillo Bascary : 100% agree, it's currency restriction

Thank you!

Restriction on hard/foreign currency transactions

This policy is usually enforced by the countries ridden by a very weak currency.

Hard currencies are usually USD, euro, and involved he English Pound. Those currencies are involved in most foreign exchange transactions.

Argentina has restricted foreign exchange transactions more often than not, because its balance of payments has been imbalanced more often than not, which means that the BCRA (the central bank) cannot meet all the demand for foreign currencies more often than not.

Argentina installed foreign exchange controls in 2011, at the beginning of the second presidency of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Those controls limited the ability to buy or sell any foreign currency. The restriction was informally known in Argentina as Cepo cambiario (Spanish for 'exchange clamp'). The controls were lifted in 2015, at the beginning of the presidency of Mauricio Macri.

neutral philgoddard : It doesn't say 'hard', and 'foreign' is redundant.

You don't know what you are talking about. See the text submitted by Asker./in Argentina, the national currency is worthless. Nobody traces the local currency, but there is high demand for only foreign currencies, the USD being the most important.
