The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) received a disbursement of USD 12 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this Tuesday, which brought the gross reserves to a total of USD 36.799 billion, according to the monetary entity.
On the second day of operation of the new exchange rate scheme of floating within bands, the exchange rate remained stable around $1,200, located at the center of the free fluctuation range. The BCRA once again stayed out of the market without intervening.
This disbursement for the Government of Javier Milei is part of the new agreement approved last Friday, through which Argentina currently concentrates about 50% of the total credits granted by the IMF worldwide.
With the approval of the program, the IMF transferred 60% of the total agreed amount, which amounts to USD 20 billion, in a first currency transfer. The Ministry of Economy committed to using these funds to repurchase Non-Transferable Letters held by the Central Bank, with the aim of improving its balance sheet.
