“There are unclear and bureaucratic procedures followed by official institutions and the market alike, and this confuses financial movement and increases the currency differential, which pushes to the black market and raises the requirements of living, especially with… The presence of large amounts of money from corruption sources, which constitutes an obstacle for the middle and poor classes regarding real estate prices.”
