Coverage for Importing SMEs

SMEs importing supplies and capital goods for their productive activities can make deposits that earn interest linked to the official exchange rate (known as dollar-linked deposits) from customs clearance to the date of payment for up to the total amount of the payment to be made.

Financial institutions are required to offer this product according to the measure adopted today by the Board of the BCRA.

Thus, SMEs shall have simple, easy-access coverage. SMEs shall create the account at the same financial institution where they carry out foreign trade transactions.
