Overview
- The central bank raised its nominal annual rate to 30.50% for 30-day peso deposits in early July as inflation remains near 2% monthly.
- Banks submitted their 30-day deposit rates to the BCRA and indicated they will maintain these levels through July barring major currency or economic shocks.
- Banco Nación and Banco Provincia de Buenos Aires offer the benchmark 30.50% TNA; Banco del Sol and Banco de Córdoba extend up to 36%.
- According to the BCRA simulator, a 30-day ARS 480,000 peso deposit yields ARS 12,032.88; a ARS 3,000,000 placement returns about ARS 75,205.
- Dollar-denominated 30-day fixed deposits carry annual yields between 0.05% at Santander and 2.50% at Banco Nación; banks are promoting them to capture dollar holdings.
