Colombia's official dollar reference rate rose 41.19 pesos to 3,192.92 on Monday, September 21, up 1.31% from Friday's 3,151.73.[^1]

Cash rates at exchange houses in six Colombian cities on the same day: Bogotá buy 3,134 / sell 3,234 pesos; Cali 3,150/3,325; Cartagena 3,050/3,300; Cúcuta 3,170/3,225; Medellín 3,096/3,217; Pereira 3,130/3,230.[^6] In Bogotá, buy quotes ranged from 3,050 pesos (Punto Dollar) to 3,170 pesos (Smart Exchange), and sell quotes from 3,200 pesos (Cambios Kapital) to 3,250 pesos (Punto Dollar).[^8]

Venezuela's central bank set its official dollar rate at 848.54 bolivars for the same day.[^2] The bank says it calculates the rate as a weighted average of other financial quotes to find a more precise equivalence with the bolivar market.[^5] Knowing the official rate helps establish equivalent values between the dollar and the bolivar, the article notes.[^7]
