Q 7.

PESO
(ARS)CURENCY OF ARGENTINA
The Central Bank of
Argentina (BCRA)
has adopted a floating
exchange rate regime
without intervention.
However, in the event of extreme
overshooting of the exchange
rate, the BCRA may conduct
limited intervention in foreign
exchange markets to prevent
disorderly market conditions.
Such intervention would be
unsterilized.1 ARS = 1.04958 INR
1 ARS = 0.01400 USD

17. How is the Argentina’s
Banking system
structured ?
Q 9.

18. The combination of high inflation
and recession drove a sharp
contraction of the loan book after
adjusting for inflation, as well as an
increase in problem loans.
However, the country's low level of
credit intermediation, conservative
risk management and the short
average terms of the loan book
limited the rise in delinquencies.
Consequently, many bank ratings
continued to be constrained by
Argentina´s B2 sovereign bond
rating.
