That article 44 and subsections a), o) and q) of article 54 of Law N° 1670 establish that the BCB Board is its highest authority, responsible for defining its policies, specialized general application regulations and internal rules, with powers, among others, to issue the rules and adopt the general decisions that are necessary for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies and powers assigned to it by Law, to approve, modify and interpret the Statute and its Regulations by two thirds of the votes of all its members, without the need for any additional administrative act and those that are necessary for the fulfillment of its functions. That Law N° 393 in subsection a) of its article 179 determines that Banco de Desarrollo Productivo Sociedad Anónima Mixta (BDP - S.A.M.), has among its functions, within the framework of its first and second-tier activities, to provide financial and non-financial services to the different actors of the plural economy by itself or through third parties. That the aforementioned Law, in its article 430, states that the BCB may grant liquidity credits to financial intermediation entities with a guarantee of the legal reserve constituted, as well as with other guarantees determined by the Issuing Entity, in accordance with a Regulation approved by its Board. That Supreme Decree N° 4442 aims to allow access to liquidity resources, through BDP - S.A.M. to Financial Development Institutions (IFD) and Savings and Credit Cooperatives (CAC) with an operating license granted by ASFI, and in its article 2, it provides that BDP - S.A.M., in order to channel liquidity resources to IFDs and CACs, may request credits from the BCB with the guarantee of its second-tier credit portfolio, which will be channeled with a spread not exceeding 100 basis points. Likewise, it establishes that BDP - S.A.M. will evaluate access to this financing solely based on the information from the Financial Statements and/or flow projections provided by the IFDs and CACs. That numerals 1), 7) and 22) of article 11 of the BCB Statute establish that the Board of the Issuing Entity has the powers to approve general decisions and issue the rules that are necessary for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies and powers assigned to it by Law, as well as to approve the granting of liquidity credits to financial intermediation entities and to approve, modify and interpret the BCB Statute and Regulations, by two thirds of the votes of all its members, without the need for an additional administrative act. In numerals 4) and 12) of its article 33, it determines that the President of the BCB has the powers to exercise the legal representation of the BCB without prejudice to the delegation powers and to sign the contracts and agreements entered into by the Bank, being able to delegate this power.

//3.R.D.N° 140/2026
That articles 5 and 7 of the Liquidity Credit Regulation for Banco de Desarrollo Productivo Sociedad Anónima Mixta establish that the term for liquidity credits will be up to 90 (ninety) calendar days, which may be renewed for similar terms up to a maximum of 25 times each, with the payment of interest being necessary for each renewal and the conditions for the disbursement and cancellation of credits. That the Liquidity Credit Granting Agreement SANO N° 1/2021 signed between the BCB and BDP - S.A.M. stipulates, among others, the financial conditions, the renewal of the granted liquidity credit operations, as well as the payment. CONSIDERING:
That through report BCB-GEF-SASF-DAN-INF-2026-21, GEF and APEC conclude that it is necessary to provide for exceptional conditional renewals for financial intermediation entities sanctioned for non-compliance with BCB regulations, in order to provide flexibility to their liquidity levels in the current economic situation, for which they recommend to the Board to approve the modification of articles 5 and 7 of the Liquidity Credit Regulation for Banco de Desarrollo Productivo Sociedad Anónima Mixta and the signing of the modifying contract with BDP - S.A.M. That through report BCB-GAL-SANO-DLBCI-INF-2026-252, GAL concludes that the modification of articles 5 and 7 of the Liquidity Credit Regulation for Banco de Desarrollo Productivo Sociedad Anónima Mixta is legally viable as it does not violate the current legal system, and therefore, its approval by the BCB Board and authorization to the President to sign the modifying contract with BDP - S.A.M. is appropriate, in accordance with the provisions of article 54 subsections a), o) and q) and article 59 subsection e) of Law N° 1670 and numerals 1), 7) and 22) of article 11 and numerals 4) and 12) of article 33 of the BCB Statute.
