La Derecha Diario This was the 19th Capital Markets and Corporate Finance Symposium of IAEF

The Argentine Institute of Finance Executives (IAEF) held the 19th edition of the Capital Markets and Corporate Finance Symposium, an event that brought together financial sector leaders, regulators, and economic experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the local market.
Among the highlighted topics, they discussed advances in regulations, strategic mergers, and the impact of the global context on the development of capital markets.
Modernization and digitalization: CNV's priorities
One of the key speakers at the symposium was Roberto Silva, president of the National Securities Commission (CNV), who highlighted the agency's efforts to streamline and modernize the market.
"We want to continue simplifying processes and removing obstacles. We are advancing in the automatic approval of public offerings to facilitate access to the capital market," Silva explained.
He also mentioned the recent implementation of General Regime 1058, which regulates virtual asset service providers and opens the door to tokenization within the current regulatory framework.

Strategic mergers for a more efficient market
Another highlight of the symposium was the presentation by Diego Fernández, CEO of A3 Mercados, who analyzed the merger between Matba Rofex and MAE.
"Stock and futures markets tend to consolidate globally because they generate greater efficiencies. In Argentina, this integration simplifies operations and reduces costs, benefiting all actors in the capital market," Fernández noted.
The concentration of operators will allow for greater specialization and resource optimization, in line with global trends.
Economic perspectives and the role of the capital market
Diego Cazorla, president of the IAEF, highlighted the role of the capital market in economic stabilization and the country's growth.
"The market movement has been much higher than in previous years. The consolidation of macroeconomic stability is an essential asset to attract investments and project growth," he stated.
He also emphasized the importance of the relationship with international organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund, and the impact it could have on opening markets for Argentina.
Economic expectations: growth and inflation reduction
Economist Fernando Marull shared his vision of the country's economic future, maintaining an optimistic projection for 2025.
"Despite the current volatility, we expect a 5% growth for this year and a reduction in inflation to levels of 23%. Once the agreement with the IMF is defined, stability should strengthen," he explained.
The 19th IAEF Symposium made it clear that the Argentine capital market continues to evolve, with regulatory initiatives, strategic mergers, and expectations of sustained growth. Digitalization, opening to private capital, and strengthening economic stability were the main themes of an event that reaffirms the importance of this sector in the country's financial development.
