Overview
- After the BCRA’s July 3 decision to set a 30.5% policy rate, banks across Argentina repriced 30-day fixed-term deposits, converging offers at roughly 33% TNA.
- Digital-only platforms continue to pay a premium, with Banco CMF S.A. and REBA topping the table at about 36.5% and 36% TNA, respectively.
- The central bank’s removal of liquidity bills in late July has directed more funds into peso deposits, intensifying competition among banks.
- Savers, contending with monthly inflation near 2%, are flocking to fixed-term deposits as a low-risk hedge against currency volatility.
- Yield dispersion remains wide—rates span nearly 19 to 37 percentage points—prompting customers to use BCRA’s TEM table and bank simulators to shop for the best returns.
