Summary of the day at the Central Bank of Santiago Bausilli
The Central Bank continues to demonstrate its ability to keep incorporating dollars into the market, even in a context of increased currency movement. So far in 2026, the net acquisitions of the monetary authority have already reached US$ 10.923 billion, a significant figure for a country that has lived for years with currency controls, restrictions, patches, and reserves under constant pressure.
On the currency front, the average selling retail exchange rate reported by the Central Bank closed at $1,491.127 per dollar. In the wholesale segment, the main market reference, the currency ended at $1,471.50, while the official retail dollar advanced on bank boards.
Regarding reserves, the gross stock showed a slight daily decrease of US$ 38 million, largely explained by valuation factors, especially due to the decline in gold and the movements of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Rights basket. A significant part of the variation responds to accounting issues and not necessarily to a direct outflow of dollars from cash.

The Central Bank has once again purchased foreign currency, the weekly balance is in line with the positive trend and the Government continues to strengthen the external position. The accumulation of purchases in June, which already reaches US$ 1.176 billion, constitutes a significant signal for the consolidation of the economic program.
