That the aforementioned Regulation, in its article 5, provides that the Board of Directors of the BCB will determine and approve the financial conditions of the credit, considering the degree of concessionality established by the MEFP through Ministerial Resolution following the procedure set forth in the Appendix of the Regulation. In its article 6 it determines that the Board will consider the technical, legal, and other reports, and if appropriate, approve the credit with the favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the total of its present members, issuing the corresponding Resolution.

That through Board Resolution No. 149/2021, the BCB approves the granting of an Extraordinary Credit to the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance through the General Treasury of the Nation, within the framework of what is established in paragraph I of the first additional provision of Law No. 1389, of the FARIP Trust, approving its respective financial conditions.

public investment projects, oriented to boost the economic reactivation of subnational governments within the framework of national economic policy. In this sense, it requests that the new disbursement schedule attached be considered, which was updated based on the programming of resource placements to beneficiaries and the new deadline to request disbursements, as it is necessary to guarantee the continuity and conclusion of public investment projects, as well as to facilitate those that are in the process of prioritization.

That the Statute of the BCB in items 1) and 49) of its article 10 establishes that the Board has the authority to approve general decisions and issue norms that are necessary for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies, and powers assigned to it by the Law, as well as other authorities that are necessary for the fulfillment of its functions. In items 4) and 13) of its article 34, it determines that among the authorities of the President of the BCB is that of exercising the legal representation of the BCB and signing the contracts that the BCB enters into.

CONSIDERING:

That through report BCB-GOM-SOSP-DCE-INF-2025-83, the GOM concludes that there is no technical impediment to proceed with the request to extend the disbursement deadline until December 31, 2026 of the extraordinary credit in favor of the MEFP destined for the FARIP, granted within the framework of Contract SANO-DLBCI No. 5/2022 and the Regulation approved by Board Resolution No. 104/2021.

That through report BCB-GAL-SANO-DLBCI-INF-2025-413, the GAL concludes that regarding compliance with payments by the MEFP, said entity is within the deadline and validity of the credit established for this effect. Likewise, that the request of the MEFP for the extension of the disbursement deadline and its new disbursement schedule corresponds to be considered by the Board in order to issue the Board Resolution that approves the modification of the disbursement deadline and, consequently, authorizes the President of the Board of the BCB to sign the Modifying Contract to Contract SANO-DLBCI No. 5/2022 modified by Modifying Contract SANO - DLBCI No. 20/2023, as provided in letter a), j) and q) of article
