The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic issued Communication “A” 8442 to authorize financial entities and exchange houses to grant foreign exchange market access for clients' prepayments of principal and interest on financial debts, provided that funds originate from new foreign borrowings or debt securities, are transferred by entities with direct control or within the same economic group, and occur within 72 business hours of settlement. The regulation stipulates that these peso transfers are exempt from the sworn declarations linked to point 3.16.3.4 of the consolidated Foreign Exchange and Currency text, while explicitly prohibiting the double-counting of these funds under other specific market access mechanisms. Furthermore, the Bank will issue replacement forms to update compliance procedures for these newly established prepayment operations.
