“As the demand for money continues to strengthen, The economy is expected to continue emerging from the situation of excess liquidity in pesos. Likewise, progress will be made in continuing to adapt the regulations to make it possible to carry out commercial transactions in any currency chosen by the parties in a manner facilitate free currency competition“says the BCRA in the document on objectives and plans proposed for 2025.
Regarding the currency devaluation processes, the highest monetary authority indicated that, To the extent that inflation continues to decelerate, “the slippage of the exchange rate can be adjusted and, eventually, move to a scheme of greater exchange rate flexibility once inflation expectations are well anchored and the fiscal surplus fully fulfills its role as a fundamental anchor of the economy.”
