Central Bank Dollar Purchases Slow: Daily Average Drops to $19M

The central bank has recorded 27 consecutive days of positive dollar purchases, but the daily average has fallen to US$19 million in September, down from US$38 million in August and well below mid-year peaks. This suggests a deliberate slowdown in reserve accumulation, possibly to manage currency appreciation or signal a shift in intervention policy. The change is notable as it deviates from the recent aggressive buying pattern.
