Codes 10120X/M, 11010X/M and 110500/M
Will identify fixed-term deposits of private and public titles (except national ones) and their immobilized balances as provided in the "Minimum Cash" regulations. Their total or partial integration with national public titles having normal and habitual quotation for significant amounts in domestic markets will be accepted; such application will be reported under code 210100/TP (when denominated in pesos, according to the procedure described in point 1.3 "Integration" of these regulations) or 210200/TP (when denominated in US dollars).
1.2.4. Decrease / (Increase) of the average requirement
Code 701000/001
The amount to be deducted from the total average requirement determined for each period will be recorded, calculated based on the applicable percentage according to the table included in point 1.5.1 of the "Minimum Cash" regulations. The following methodology will be used:
{[808000/001 + 809000/001)] / 810000/001} = b
Item 701000/001= (code 100000/001 n-1) * b
Where: b = % of participation per table.
For the purpose of calculating SME financing to determine the participation percentage, it will be considered whether they meet this condition at the time of granting assistance, considering all current financings. If the beneficiary ceases to meet the SME condition, financings granted up to that point will be calculated. Code 702000/001 The amount to be deducted from the total average requirement determined for each period (point 1.5.4 of the "Minimum Cash" regulations) will be recorded, calculated based on the following expression:
(Code 833001/001 * Ps3) + (Code 833002/001 * Pn3) + (Code 840001/001 * Ps4) + (840002/001 * Pn4) Where: Ps: Applicable weight for the total monthly average of ATM withdrawals in operating offices, according to the categories in which these ATMs are located.

Code 700000/M (where M = 001) - Items for decrease / increase of requirement 700000/001 = 701000/001+ 702000/001 + 707000/001 + 708000/001 + 710000/001 + 711000/001 + 713000/001 + 714100/001 + 714500/001 + 715000/001 The resulting amount from the expression will be reported; when the algebraic sum is negative, the increase in requirement will be reported with a negative sign. When positive (decrease), the amount to be computed for the position will be capped at this Institution by the value determined for item 903000/001. B.C.R.A. MONTHLY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION REGIME
