The delay in external payments through the correspondent banks and the volatility of the weight diminish the profits of local companies.
In the Argentine business scene, there is a silent adversary that undermines profits before they can be used: time. It is not about administrative delays, but about the lost days waiting for the liquidation of a cross -border payment. During those lapses, the value of the cattle can disappear, devoured by the volatility of the Argentine peso.
This is the risk of devaluation of liquidations, a phenomenon known to all Argentine companies operating in international markets.
The export economy of Argentina, valued at US $ 80,000 million and composed of vital sectors such as agriculturelithium and lutita, faces a common logistics bottleneck. Although Argentine companies know how to operate to the rhythm of modern businesses, they are forced to use an obsolete network of correspondent banks that delays international payments between three, five or even seven days.
Unlike most other countries, Argentine companies assume a considerable risk: that when the funds arrive, they have already been able to lose value.
The cost of this delay is amazing. Consider the example of an agricultural exporter that invoices US $ 1 million. If the weight is devalued 5% over the course of a week – a phenomenon that occurred several times only in 2025 – that final liquidation only provides the equivalent AU $ S950,000 in purchasing power; $ 50,000 evaporate in a single week without the company having had the opportunity to touch them. By multiplying this effect by thousands of shipments and thousands of affected companies, The total cost for Argentina turns out to be amazing.
It is not surprising that Argentine companies have appealed to dollarization, special contractual clauses and stable currencies to cushion these effects. In fact, more than 60% of the country’s cryptographic transactions are carried out in stable currencies. However, although these tools protect the stored value, they do not solve the most difficult problem: the need to move money through the borders and turn it to the local currency quickly already large scale.
The solution to this problem requires payment infrastructure that is specifically believed to overcome it. When integrating the local currency into a global network transfer network, companies can access a system designed to optimize two crucial parameters: minimize time and cost of cross -border transfers. The objective is simple: allow companies to conserve better the value of what they have earned, preventing it from being vanished during the transfer process.
The central point is not merely escaping inflation. It is about protecting the value in the most vulnerable stage of international payments in the Argentina: the liquidation.
The Argentina It is an inherently rich country in resources and talent. Agriculture, energy, mining and the growing knowledge economy depend on fluid access to global partners. For these industries to expand and compete effectively in the global market, they need financial roads that move as fast as their ambition.
Monetary stability generates certainty. Certainty, in turn, generates confidence in the future. By reducing the risk of liquidation, companies that carry out transactions in Argentine pesos compete, grow and develop, providing them with the confidence that what they earn is, in fact, what they retain.
