The monetary authority reached USD 8.706 billion in 2026 and extended its buying streak to 91 consecutive days.
In fact, with just four additional positive sessions, the Central Bank could consolidate the third longest buying streak in history, an indicator that reflects the continuity of the official strategy to strengthen the entity's balance.
The Government of Javier Milei, through the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), recorded a strong purchase in the foreign exchange market this Wednesday by acquiring USD 328 million, in one of the most significant days of the year in terms of reserve accumulation.
With this result, the monetary entity raised the total purchases to USD 8.706 million so far in 2026, consolidating a sustained dynamic of currency accumulation that has already allowed it to exceed 87% of the target set with the IMF for the entire year.
This Wednesday's operation not only reinforces the level of reserves but also positions itself as the second most important purchase of the year, only behind the one recorded on April 10, when the monetary authority acquired USD 457 million in a single day.
The data is framed within a trend that has been deepening in recent months, characterized by a constant presence of the Central Bank in the official exchange market. In this sense, the day also marked the 91st consecutive purchase, a streak that places the agency very close to achieving one of the highest records in its recent history.
"THIS DATA IS VERY STRONG...", published President Javier Milei on his X account, referring to the strong currency purchase during this Wednesday.
This process of reserve accumulation occurs in a context of macroeconomic and exchange stability, and improvement in the flow of currencies, which allows the Central Bank to sustain purchases without generating additional tensions in the market.
With these numbers, the Central Bank maintains a consistent trajectory in reserve accumulation, quickly approaching annual targets and consolidating one of the strongest performances of the last decades in exchange matters.
