The economic management led by President Javier Milei continues to set historical milestones in the reconstruction of the balance of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA). In a scenario of fiscal order and monetary responsibility, the entity led by Santiago Bausili has achieved what seemed impossible for previous administrations: stringing together 124 consecutive days with a net purchase balance in the foreign exchange market.
On this Wednesday, the BCRA reaffirmed its absolute dominance over the market by acquiring USD 34 million additional. With this operation, the entity adds an impressive total of USD 11.455 billion so far in 2026, demonstrating an unyielding effectiveness in absorbing dollars to protect the value of the work of Argentines.
In fact, under the current administration, the Central has purchased foreign currency every day of the year with the sole and isolated exception of January 2, when a neutral balance was recorded. It is noteworthy that the largest daily acquisition in this cycle of economic glory occurred on April 10, with a figure of USD 457 million.
This constant and professional accumulation of capital is what allows the country to face its international commitments with total solvency and dignity, cleaning up the disorder left by decades of populism. In this framework of financial cleanup, international reserves closed at USD 48.722 billion after executing a strategic debt payment of USD 2.500 billion in the form of Global Bonds.
Far from being negative news, this technical movement reflects the firm decision of the Government to meet its obligations to lower the country risk and reintegrate Argentina into the world. As sources from the Ministry of Economy led by Luis Caputo pointed out:
“The loan is from the banks and they have those guarantees”, explaining that it is a superior financial engineering that uses credits from the World Bank and the IDB to obtain much more advantageous conditions.
