Rule · BCRA · 6 Jan 2022 · A 7432
The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic establishes minimum passive rates for fixed-term deposits in pesos from the non-financial private sector, set at 97.5% of the Monetary Policy Rate for deposits up to $10 million and 92.5% for larger amounts, effective January 7, 2022. It repeals previous minimum rate provisions and substitutes the fixed prepayment rate formula for early cancellation with a new calculation based on 85% of the Monetary Policy Rate. Effective January 10, 2022, the regulations on minimum cash requirements are adjusted to allow financial entities to hold net positions in BCRA Liquidity Notes (LELIQ) of shorter or longer terms based on their deposit composition, while increasing the deduction percentage for SME financing to 30% and updating the deduction table. Additionally, the maximum compensatory interest rate for credit card-linked financings is raised to 49% nominal annual, and the rate for SME productive investment financing is increased to 41% nominal annual fixed.

"1. To provide, for financial entities included in groups "A" and "B" –for the purposes of the regulations on "Minimum Cash"– and branches or subsidiaries of foreign banks classified as globally systemically important (G-SIB) not included in those groups, with effect for fixed-term deposits in pesos not adjustable by "UVA" or "UVI" in the name of holders from the non-financial private sector that these entities attract from January 7, 2022, inclusive, that the minimum passive rate provided for in point 1.11.1. of the regulations on "Deposits and time investments" shall be determined as follows:
a) For fixed-term deposits constituted by natural persons in the financial entity that do not exceed $ 10 million in total on the date of their constitution, it shall be 97.5% of the Monetary Policy Rate of the day prior to that on which the deposits are made, or the last one published, if applicable. When the fixed-term deposits are constituted in the name of two or more natural persons, the amount of the fixed-term deposit shall be distributed proportionally among their holders. b) For deposits not included in the preceding clause, it shall be 92.50% of the Monetary Policy Rate of the day prior to that on which the deposits are made, or the last one published, if applicable. For these purposes, the BCRA will timely disseminate the corresponding rate.
To repeal, with effect from January 7, 2022, point 1.11.1.2. of the regulations on "Deposits and time investments".
To substitute, with effect for deposits attracted from January 7, 2022, inclusive, point 2.8.2. of the regulations on "Deposits and time investments" with the following:
"2.8.2. Fixed prepayment rate.
If the option for early cancellation is exercised, the deposit shall accrue a fixed prepayment rate for the effectively elapsed term, which will be timely disseminated by the BCRA, based on the following expression:
TP = TPM x 0.85 where:
TP: fixed prepayment rate.
TPM: Monetary Policy Rate of the day prior to the date of constitution of the deposit, or the last one published, if applicable. This rate must be informed to the depositor and included in the record of the deposit."
To establish, with effect from January 10, 2022, that financial entities may maintain a net position in BCRA Liquidity Notes (LELIQ) of shorter issuance term –including those effectively allocated to integrate the minimum cash requirement in pesos as provided in points 1.3.7.1. and 1.3.17. of the regulations on "Minimum Cash"– up to an amount equivalent to the monthly average of daily balances of fixed-term deposits in pesos from the non-financial private sector of the previous period.
To comply, they must decrease their holdings as they collect them.
To provide, with effect from January 10, 2022, that financial entities that have a percentage of fixed-term deposits in pesos constituted by the non-financial private sector with respect to the total deposits in pesos of that sector –measured by monthly average of daily balances of the previous period, considering only capitals without interest or adjustments– equal to or greater than 20%, may maintain a positive net position of BCRA Liquidity Notes (LELIQ) of longer issuance term.
To repeal, with effect from January 10, 2022, the first paragraph of Section 8. and points 8.1. to 8.4. of the regulations on "Cash and Term Settlement Operations, Repos, Guarantees, Other Derivatives and Investment Funds".
To provide, with effect from January 10, 2022, that the BCRA Liquidity Notes (LELIQ) –provided for in points 1.3.7.1. and 1.3.17. of the regulations on "Minimum Cash"– that financial entities have admitted to integrate for the minimum cash requirement in pesos –of the period and daily– must be those of shorter issuance term.
To comply, they must decrease their holdings as they collect them.
To increase to 30% the percentage to determine the amount of the decrease in the average minimum cash requirement in pesos of the financings provided for in point 1.5.8. of the regulations on "Minimum Cash", for financings included in point 4.1. "Financing of investment projects" of the regulations on "Financing Line for Productive Investment of SMEs" that are agreed from January 10, 2022.
To substitute, with effect from January 10, 2022, the table of point 1.5.1. of the regulations on "Minimum Cash", with the following:
| Participation of SME financings with respect to total financings to the non-financial private sector, in the entity. In % | Deduction (on the total of concepts included in pesos). In % |
|---|---|
| Less than 4 | 0.00 |
| Between 4 and less than 6 | 1.00 |
| Between 6 and less than 8 | 1.25 |
| Between 8 and less than 10 | 1.50 |
| Between 10 and less than 12 | 1.75 |

| Between 22 and less than 24 | 3.25 |
| Between 24 and less than 26 | 3.50 |
| 26 or more | 3.75 |
To increase, with effect for financings agreed from January 10, 2022, to 41% nominal annual fixed the rate provided for in point 5.1.2. of the regulations on "Financing Line for Productive Investment of SMEs".
To substitute, with effect from the billing cycle corresponding to January 2022, to 49% nominal annual the limit on compensatory interest for financings linked to credit cards that financial entities may apply, established in the first paragraph of point 2.1.1. of the regulations on "Interest Rates in Credit Operations".
This is subject to financial entities taking the necessary means to notify such limit to cardholders prior to its application."
