Exchange rate band regime

The exchange rate band regime in Argentina was launched on April 11, 2025. A range of ARS1,000–ARS1,400/USD1 was set, within which the exchange rate fluctuates freely based on supply and demand.

The BCRA will adjust the floor and the ceiling at a monthly rate of -1% and +1%, respectively, until December 31, 2025.

  • – Band floor (ARS1,000 – 1% per month): If the exchange rate reaches the floor, the BCRA sells pesos to maintain that level and increase international reserves, without sterilizing the issuance of pesos, thereby promoting remonetization.
  • – Band ceiling (ARS1,400 + 1% per month): If the exchange rate reaches the ceiling, the BCRA buys pesos to maintain that level and absorb excess liquidity, thus reducing monetary liabilities.
  • – Within the band: The BCRA could occasionally intervene to prevent excessive volatility, in line with macroeconomic objectives, always without any sterilization.

Effective January 1, 2026, the exchange rate band regime remains in effect, and the monthly crawl rate of the band floor and ceiling will be based on the latest monthly inflation data reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos, INDEC) (T-2).
