The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic amends Section 2.3 of the regulations on Savings Deposits, Payment of Remuneration, Pension and Special Savings Accounts to mandate that salary credits and related labor-derived amounts, including family allowances transferred by ANSES, be deposited exclusively in Argentine pesos. This amendment applies to financial entities managing accounts for dependent workers under the payment of remuneration regime, replacing previous provisions that may have allowed other currencies. The change takes effect on November 18, 2003, and requires entities to update their operational documentation accordingly.
