I hope someone can help me understand this: the cuban government has a current official exchange rate of 123 CUP for 1 USD for tourists and population (higher than the other official exchange rate of 24 CUP per dollar for businesses. But the informal exchange rate in the streets is closer to 170 CUP for every dollar.
My question is: why would ordinary Cubans exchange 170 CUP for 1USD in the street (which is a better rate for the tourist) instead of going to the official exchange bureau which requires less CUP for every dollar?
