Buenos Aires, January 14 (NA) – The Central Bank today carried out a significant currency purchase, amounting to 187 million dollars. Thus, its reserves reached USD 44.717 billion, in line with its decision to start acquiring currencies as requested by the International Monetary Fund. Since the beginning of the year, the BCRA has already purchased about USD 520 million. The Central Bank acquired USD 110 million between this Monday and Tuesday (USD 55 million each day). For the market, this is a relevant amount in the context of this year's debt maturities. This is because, in 2025, the Central Bank had only bought USD 198 million. The Central Bank once again positioned itself as a net buyer in the official market, a relevant move after several months when reserve accumulation was the weakest point of the program. IP According to experts, the BCRA has managed to clear short-term exchange rate tensions, which favors reserve purchases.
