The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic issued Communication “A” 8364 to implement a revised classification system for financial entities into Groups A and B, effective January 1, 2026. The regulation establishes Group A based on a 1% system-wide asset and deposit indicator threshold, repeals specific prior paragraphs of the consolidated text on Authorities, and assigns new entities to Group B until sufficient data is available. It further updates minimum capital requirements for credit risk by setting limits of 20% and 17% for Groups A and B respectively, with reductions to 11% or 7% based on SEFYC inspection ratings, while mandating compliance with updated minimum cash and executive-administrative function separation rules by mid-2026.
