The Board of Directors of the Central Bank defined yesterday that people who access the new retirement moratorium approved by Congress at the end of February, or who are studying a payment plan to access retirement, will not be able to access the purchase of dollar savings or of financial dollars (MEP or CCL).
The restriction will be applied to the quota of US$200 per month for the purchase of savings or solidarity dollars, which is quoted at $356 per dollar, a value that results from adding 30% of the PAIS tax and an advance of 35% on account of the Income Tax. Profits at the value of the official dollar, or that obtained from the purchase and sale of securities in the capital market, which are obtained around $391 (MEP) and $402 (CCL).
As detailed by the BCRA in a statement, “the direct or indirect dollarization, via the stock market, of their economic surpluses” will be restricted to those people who are “in a position to avail themselves of the pension debt payment plan provided by Law 27,705, in the measure that is presented to require it, or another pension debt regularization plan, until they have canceled the debt”.
This restriction of the conditions is added to another set by Communication “A” 7105 of 2020 of the BCRA, which does not consider admissible the quota for who “is a beneficiary of a plan or program characterized as social aid”. In October 2020, the BCRA prohibited the purchase for foreign currency hoarding for officials at the highest level of the public administration, national legislators and managers of official banking entities.
Those who accessed the MEP or CCL dollar in the last 90 days, monotributistas who have credits in progress at a subsidized rate, who spent their quota of US$200 with a card, who retain energy subsidies, people who have a 12-installment payment plan for credit card debts, those who refinanced their debts with banks for personal, pledge or mortgage loans, among other criteria.
