The Government of Javier Milei, through the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), recorded a strong purchase in the foreign exchange market this Wednesday by acquiring USD 328 million, in one of the most significant days of the year in terms of reserve accumulation.
With this result, the monetary entity raised the total purchases to USD 8.706 million so far in 2026, consolidating a sustained dynamic of currency accumulation that has already allowed it to exceed 87% of the target set with the IMF for the entire year.
This Wednesday's operation not only reinforces the level of reserves but also positions itself as the second most important purchase of the year, only behind the one recorded on April 10, when the monetary authority acquired USD 457 million in a single day.
The data is framed within a trend that has been deepening in recent months, characterized by a constant presence of the Central Bank in the official exchange market. In this sense, the day also marked the 91st consecutive purchase, a streak that places the agency very close to achieving one of the highest records in its recent history.
