The dollar is one of the favorite currencies of many savers both in Colombia and in other countries that have emerging currencies. The currency represents a safe haven for many people’s assets, as it is part of one of the most solid economies in the world, that of the United States.
Saving in this currency makes it possible to face inflation, since it is not affected by the increase in prices in the country. In fact, the devaluation of the local currency allows the dollar to strengthen and savers to have greater profits.
Another benefit of saving in that currency is the greater opportunities it provides for international investment, since according to the Global 66 portal, many foreign investments require transactions to be carried out in dollars, so having these currencies allows you to diversify your portfolio. .
In Colombia there are several alternatives to save on the greenback. One of the most common is the purchase of physical dollars. This consists of buying the currency and then storing it waiting for it to revalue. Then they sell it in the market and take advantage of the profits it can give.
