The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) closed its best week of the year in terms of currency purchases, advancing in a strong reserve accumulation process that allowed it to comfortably meet the targets set for 2026.
In just five days, the monetary authority incorporated 1.154 billion dollars, representing 80% of the USD 1.444 billion acquired so far this month.
The weekly boost concluded with a positive day on Friday, when an additional USD 39 million was added. However, the highlight of the period was recorded on Tuesday the 14th, when the agency completed a transaction for USD 532 million, the highest for a single day since the program began.

This performance reinforces the accumulation dynamic that the Government of Javier Milei has been maintaining throughout the year. As a result, reserves currently reach nearly USD 13.000 million within the purchasing scheme initiated at the beginning of 2026.
In broader terms, the growth is also reflected in the balance of the last seven months. During this period, the Government managed to increase reserves by USD 7.500 million, bringing the total to USD 48.784 million. This level consolidates the strengthening of the external front and supports the ongoing economic strategy.
The magnitude of recent purchases also allowed for meeting the reserve accumulation target set for this year.

The result reflects an acceleration in the capacity to purchase foreign currency, with large-scale operations setting the pace for the week. In particular, the intervention on Tuesday became a milestone within the program, representing the highest daily influx of dollars since its implementation.
With this performance, the monetary authority consolidates a trend of strengthening reserves and reaffirms its capacity to sustain the accumulation process, in line with the economic objectives set by the Government for 2026.
