The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) issued Communication A 8435 to update regulatory requirements for financial entities regarding minimum cash reserves and financing to the non-financial public sector. The directive amends consolidated texts by permitting integration of peso reserve requirements with BCRA Liquidity Letters, BCRA Notes, and specific national bonds, while establishing precise daily integration thresholds of 65% for pesos and 25% (or 50%) for foreign currency. It further reduces reserve obligations through targeted deductions for Mipyme financing, Universal Free Account operations, and specific treasury instruments, with all modifications highlighted on the BCRA website.
