Date of authorization of Financial Statements
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been approved and authorized for publication through Board of Directors' Minutes No. 743 dated June 9, 2025.
Basis for Preparation
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 “Interim Financial Information” (IAS 34).
In Argentina, the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2, Section I, Chapter I of Title IV: Periodic Information Regime of the National Securities Commission (CNV) regulations and it is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.
The Management of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. has concluded that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements reasonably present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, in accordance with the IAS 34.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the notes normally included in an annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
It should be noted that the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared by applying accounting standards and measurement criteria consistent with those applied by the Company for the preparation of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the modifications described in Note 1(e).
The accounting standards have been consistently applied in all entities of the Group.
(a) Measurement Unit
IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, irrespective of whether they are based on the historical cost or the current cost method. Accordingly, in general terms, non-monetary items should be adjusted for inflation occurring since the acquisition date or since the revaluation date, as the case may be. These requirements are also applicable to the comparative information reported in the financial statements. According to IAS 29, monetary assets and liabilities are not required to be restated, for they are stated in the measurement unit as of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific
| | |
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A. |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
agreements will be adjusted on the basis of such agreements. Non-monetary items measured at their fair values at the end of the reporting period, such as net realizable value or otherwise, will not be restated. The other non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated by applying a general price index. The income (loss) from the net monetary position will be charged to net income for the reporting period in a separate item.
In order to conclude whether a given economy qualifies as hyperinflationary pursuant to the terms of IAS 29, the standard sets forth certain factors that should be considered, including a three-year cumulative inflation rate reaching or exceeding 100%.
The Group has applied IAS 29, Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary Economy, in preparing these consolidated condensed interim financial statements for all periods presented.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements are based on a historical cost.
(b) Foreign Currency Translation
–Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
The figures included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are stated in their functional currency, that is, in the currency of the main economic environment in which the Group operates. The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
–Transactions and Balances
The transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the transactions or the valuation dates when the items are measured at closing exchange rate. Profits and losses in foreign currency resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency at closing exchange rate, are recognized in the Statement of Income in the item “Exchange Rate Differences Foreign Currency,” except when they are deferred in equity by transactions which qualify as cash flows hedges, if appropriate.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the US dollar defined by the Argentine Central Bank, in force at the close of operations on the last business day of each month.
As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, balances in US dollars were translated at the reference exchange rate (Ps. 1073.8750, Ps. 1032.5000, and Ps. 857.4167, respectively established by the Argentine Central Bank. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into this currency using the types of exchange rate reported by the Argentine Central Bank.
(c) Going concern
As of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, there is no uncertainty regarding events or conditions that may give rise to doubts about the possibility of the Group continuing to operate normally as a going concern.
(d) Comparative information
Balances as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 exposed in these financial statements, for comparison purposes, arise from the Financial Statements as of those dates stated in closing currency.
(e) New Accounting Standards
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the adoption of new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards as set out below:
| | | | | |
Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of exchangeability |
Item | The amendment provides guidance for entities to apply a consistent approach to the assessment of whether a currency is exchangeable at the measurement date and for a specific purpose, and if not, the determination of the exchange rate to be used for measurement purposes and the disclosures to be provided in their financial statements.

| | |
NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES |
The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the accounting standards to define the Group's accounting policies.
The Group has identified the following areas involving a greater degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, and which are essential to understand the underlying accounting/financial reporting risks.
a. FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 are not listed in active markets and is therefore determined by using valuation techniques. The valuation of level 3 financial instruments involves one or more inputs which are unobservable and significant to their fair value measurement. The Group uses valuation models and unobservable inputs, including projected cash flows, discount rates and volatilities and correlations relating to interest rates and spreads, to
| | |
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A. |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
estimate the fair value of level 3 financial instruments. These valuation techniques require management to make significant estimates and judgments.
b. VALUATION OF THE EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS ALLOWANCE
The Group records the allowance for loan losses under the expected credit losses (ECL) method included in IFRS 9. The most significant judgments of the model relate to making assumptions about macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward looking factor. A high degree of uncertainty is involved in making estimations using assumptions that are highly subjective and very sensitive to the risk factors.
c. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Intangible assets with finite useful lives and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life. The Group monitors the conditions related to these assets to determine whether the events and circumstances require a review of the remaining amortization or depreciation term, and whether there are factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the value of the assets that cannot be recovered.
The Group has applied judgment to identify impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group has concluded that there were no impairment indicators for any of the years reported in its consolidated financial statements.
d. INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX
Significant judgment is required when determining current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The current income tax is accounted according to the amounts expected to be paid; while deferred income tax is accounted on the basis of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, at the rates expected to be in force at the time of their reversal.
A deferred tax asset is recognized when future taxable income is expected to exist to offset such temporary differences, based on Management’s assumptions about the amounts and timing of such future taxable income. Actual results may differ from these estimates, for instance, changes in the applicable tax laws or the outcome of the final review of the tax returns by the tax authorities and tax courts.
Future taxable income and the number of tax benefits likely to be available in the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management, on the basis of expectations which are deemed reasonable.
The Group classifies the fair values of the financial instruments in 3 levels, according to the quality of the information used for their determination.
Fair Value Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (as publicly traded derivative instruments, debt securities or instruments available for sale) is based on the quoted market prices (not adjusted) as of the date of the reporting period. If the quoted price is available within the 5 business days of the valuation date, and there is an active market for the instrument, this will be included in Level 1.
Fair Value Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets, for example, derivatives available over-the-counter, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information. If all the relevant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If the variables to determine the price are not observable, the instrument will be valued in Level 3.
Fair Value Level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on observable market information, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Valuation Techniques
The valuation techniques to determine the Fair Value includes:
| | |
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A. |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
•Market prices or quotes for similar instruments.
•Determination of estimated current value of the instruments.
The valuation technique to determine the Level 2 fair value is based on information other than the quote price included in Level 1, which are directly observable for assets or liabilities, both directly (i.e., prices) and indirectly (i.e., deriving from prices).
Financial instruments classified as Level 3 mainly include equity instruments for which the fair value was calculated with the assistance of independent appraisers using methods of future discounted cash flows involving a combined income and market approach.
The valuation technique to determine the Level 3 fair value of financial instruments is based on the price drawn by the curve, which is a method that compares the spread between the sovereign bond curve and the average cut-off rates of primary issuances, representing the different segments, according to the different risk ratings. If there are no representative primary issuances throughout the month, the following variants will be used:
•secondary market prices of instruments under the same conditions, which had quoted in the evaluation month;
•bidding and/or secondary market prices of the previous month, which will be taken based on their representativeness;
•spread calculated in the previous month, and it will be applied to the sovereign curve, in accordance with their reasonableness;
•a specific margin is applied, defined according to historical yields of instruments under the same conditions, based on a substantiated justification.
As stated above, the rates and spreads are determined to be used to discount the future cash flows and generate the instrument price.
All the modifications to the valuation methods are previously discussed and approved by the Group's key personnel.
The financial instruments of the group measured at fair value at the end of the period are detailed below:

NOTE 4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term payment commitments, rather than for investment or similar purposes. A financial asset is classified as cash equivalent if it can be readily convertible into a certain amount of cash and its risk of changes in value is immaterial. Accordingly, an investment with original maturity of three months or less is classified as cash equivalent. Equity interests are excluded from cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents break down as follows:

NOTE 18. CURRENT INCOME TAX LIABILITIES |
The balances recorded in these items correspond to the amount of the income tax provision, net of advances made and other credits on account of this tax.
Tax Inflation Adjustment
Law 27,430 introduced a modification in which it established that the subjects referred to in paragraphs a) to e) of Article 53 of the current Income Tax Law, for the purpose of determining the taxable net earnings, should deduct or incorporate to the tax income of the fiscal year being settled, the tax inflation adjustment. Said adjustment would be applicable in the fiscal year where a variation percentage of the consumer price index is verified, greater than one hundred percent (100%), accumulated in the thirty-six (36) months prior to the closing of the fiscal year being settled. For fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021, the inflation adjustment would be charged in full (100%), with no deferral at all. In this regard, the whole inflation adjustment calculated for this year has to be included in the current fiscal year.
Tax Rate
On June 16, 2021, Law 27,630 was enacted, which establishes for capital companies a structure of staggered rates for income tax with three segments in relation to the level of accumulated taxable net earnings, applicable for the years fiscal years started on or after January 1, 2021, inclusive. The rates within this procedure are as follows:
For fiscal years commenced from 01.01.25 through 12.31.25:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accumulated Taxable Net Earnings | Ps. Payable | Plus % | On the excess of Ps. |
More than Ps. | To Ps. |
— | 101,680 | — | 25 | % | — |
101,680 | 1,016,796 | 25,420 | 30 | % | 101,680 |
1,016,796 | Onwards | 299,955 | 35 | % | 1,016,796 |
For fiscal years commenced from 01.01.24 through 12.31.24:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accumulated Taxable Net Earnings | Ps. Payable | Plus % | On the excess of Ps. |
More than Ps. | To Ps. |
— | 34,704 | — | 25 | % | — |
34,704 | 347,035 | 8,676 | 30 | % | 34,704 |
347,035 | Onwards | 102,375 | 35 | % | 347,035 |
The amounts provided for above will be adjusted annually based on the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC), corresponding to the month of October of the year prior to the adjustment, with respect to the same month of the previous year.
The Group has recorded in these financial statements the impacts generated by this change.

NOTE 32. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RISK POLICIES |
The main risks to which the Group is exposed are classified into nine types: capital risk, financial risks (market risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk), credit risk, operational risk, technological risk, cybersecurity risk, reputational risk, strategic risk, and money laundering risk.
There have been no significant changes in the aforementioned risk management policies, with respect to those set forth in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
| | |
NOTE 33. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS |
a) Tax Aspects
At the date of preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, with varying degrees of progress, there are ongoing review and resolution processes filed by provincial and City of Buenos Aires tax authorities, mainly related to issues arising from the application of the turnover tax.
These processes and their eventual effects are subject to permanent monitoring and, although it is considered to have complied with tax obligations in accordance with current regulations, the allowances that are considered adequate have been made according to the evolution of each of the processes.
As of March 31, 2025 several claims for refund of the Income Tax paid in excess for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, for the amounts of Ps. 433,815, Ps. 459,319, Ps. 944,338, Ps. 866,842, Ps. 3,646,382, Ps. 4,403,712, Ps. 629,837 and Ps. 4,039,802 (nominal values), respectively, were submitted by Banco Galicia to the Customs Collection and Control Agency (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero, ARCA (formerly AFIP)). These are based on jurisprudence precedents that establish the unconstitutionality of the rules that disable the application of the tax inflation adjustment, resulting in situations of confiscatory nature. In light of the delay in the resolution by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, the corresponding judicial claims were filed.
Identical claims were filed by other Group subsidiaries before the ARCA: Tarjetas Cuyanas S.A., (Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U.) predecessor company, for 2014 and 2016 periods, for an amount of Ps. 145,478, nominal value; Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U., for 2014 and 2016 periods, for a total amount of Ps. 580,164, nominal value; and for 2015, 2017, and 2018 periods, for an amount of Ps. 149,763, Ps. 326,498, and Ps. 973,843, nominal value, respectively. In light of the delay in the resolution by the Customs Collection and Control Agency, the corresponding judicial claims were filed. On May 26, 2020, Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. filed before the ARCA a claim for the repetition of the Income Tax corresponding to 2019 period for Ps. 1,364,949 in nominal value. Regarding the lawsuit filed by Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. for fiscal year 2018, a favorable first instance ruling was obtained on August 14, 2024.
Additionally, GGAL Holdings S.A., another subsidiary of the Group, has filed with ARCA several income tax reimbursement claims for the tax years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 in the amounts of Ps.642,172, Ps.399,912, Ps.969,912, Ps.571,573 and Ps.1,287,536, respectively.
At the closing of these financial statements, the Group does not record contingent assets derived from the aforementioned presentations.
b Consumer Advocacy Associations
Consumer associations, invoking their representation, have filed claims to Banco Galicia in relation to the collection of certain commissions, interest rates, and financial charges.
The Group considers that the resolution of these disputes will not have a significant impact on its equity.

NOTE 34. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS |
In the normal course of business, in order to meet the financing needs of customers, some transactions are processed which are recorded off-balance sheet. These instruments expose the Group to credit risk, in addition to the financing recognized in the asset. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit reserve, guarantees granted and acceptances.
The same credit policies are used for agreed credits, guarantees and loan granting. Pending commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusual credit risk.
Agreed Credits
They are commitments to grant loans to a customer at a future date, subject to compliance with certain contractual agreements that, in general, have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a commission.
Commitments are expected to expire without recourse to them. The total amounts of the agreed credits do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The solvency of each customer is assessed on a case- by-case basis.
Guarantees Granted
The issuer bank commits itself to refund the loss to the beneficiary if the guaranteed debtor breaches their obligation at maturity date.
Documentary Export/Import Credits
They are conditional commitments issued by the Group to guarantee a customer's compliance as regards a third party.
Liabilities for Foreign Trade Operations
They are conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.
Our exposure to the loss of credit in the event of noncompliance by the other party in the financial instrument is represented by the notional contractual amount of the same investments.

•Imputation of Charges: Alleged violation of Article 117, Paragraph “b”, of Law No. 26,831, as amended, Article 2°, Paragraphs “a”, “b” and “c”, Section II, Chapter III, Title XII, of the CNV Regulations (consolidated text of 2013 and amendments), and Article 59 of Law No. 19,550, based on a report prepared by the Argentine Central Bank and sent to the CNV, which indicates that it has detected a series of transactions that, affecting the volumes and prices considered, could have induced a distorted application of Communication “A” 7546 and complementary notes in the execution of put options that have the Argentine Central Bank as the acquiring party. In their report, they state that in spite of the difficulties to accurately establish the valuations of bonds with hybrid characteristics, such as dual bonds, accentuated by the low liquidity and a discontinuous distribution of the curve, the put options executed could not have been exercised at the resulting levels if there had not been transactions carried out on February 19 and 20, 2024 by the Bank and its related companies Galicia Securities S.A.U. and Inviu S.A.U. The transactions between the aforementioned companies allegedly allowed the exercise of the liquidity option (PUT) of the Dual Bond (TDE25) for NV Ps. 113 million according to Communication “A” 7546 and complementary notes, in apparent excess for an amount of Ps. 23,072,000 in relation to the amount that would have corresponded if an extrapolated price had been applied. The result generated by such transaction was registered under the line “Net Income from Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” in the Statement of Income.
•Defendants: six Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of the Bank, three Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of Galicia Securities S.A.U. in office at the time of the facts, and five Regular Directors and the three Regular Syndics of INVIU S.A.U. in office at the time of the facts.
•Status of the case: During the period, the pertinent answers to the charge have been presented; on the other hand, the Argentine Central Bank debited the amount of Ps. 28,837,892 voluntarily offered by the Entity as full compensation for the alleged damage and interest, without prejudice to the defense arguments, or recognition of facts or rights, a situation that has been notified to the CNV. On November 15, 2024, the opening of the proceedings was ordered, and the measures offered are currently in the process of production.

According to Art. 70 of the General Companies Act, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. must transfer to Legal Reserve 5% of the profit for the fiscal year, until said reserve reaches 20% of the capital stock plus the balance of the Capital Adjustment account.
| | |
GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A. |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
As regards Banco Galicia, Banco GGAL y Naranja Digital S.A.U., Argentine Central Bank regulations stipulate that 20% of the profits as per the Statement of Income at fiscal year closing must be allocated to Legal Reserve, plus (or minus) the Adjustments of the previous fiscal years and minus the accumulated loss, if any, at the closing of the previous fiscal year.
This proportion is applied regardless of the Legal Reserve to Capital Stock ratio. Whenever the Legal Reserve is used to absorb losses, profits may only be distributed again when the Reserve value reaches 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment.
In accordance with the conditions established by the Argentine Central Bank, profits may only be distributed to the extent that Income is positive, after deducting the following items from the Retained Earnings, in addition to the Legal Reserve and that set forth in Bylaws, which set up be enforceable: the difference between the book value and the market value of public sector assets, and/or Argentine Central Bank's debt instruments not valued at market price, the amounts activated by deposits-related judicial causes, and the non-accounted adjustments required by the Argentine Central Bank and the external audit.
Additionally, another requirement in order to be able to distribute profits is to comply with the minimum capital technical ratio. The latter, exclusively for these purposes, will be determined by excluding the items mentioned above from asset and Retained Earnings. Likewise, the existing exemptions in terms of requirement, integration and/or minimum capital position will not be computed.
The Argentine Central Bank established that a capital conservation margin must be maintained in addition to the minimum capital requirement, equivalent to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets. Said margin must exclusively be integrated with Level 1 ordinary principal, net of deductible items. Income distribution will be limited when the level and composition of the entity's Regulatory Capital puts said distribution within the range of the capital conservation margin.
The Argentine Central Bank provided that income distribution must be performed with its prior authorization.
The Argentine Central Bank established that, from 01.01.25 until 12.31.25, the financial institutions may distribute income for up to 60% of the accumulated income, with prior authorization by said institution. In turn, said distribution may be made in 10 installments in homogeneous currency of each payment.
On May 30, 2025, the Argentine Central Bank authorized Banco Galicia the distribution of profits for a total amount of Ps.300,000,000 expressed in December 2024 currency, which were paid in full on the date of signing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting of Tarjeta Naranja S.A.U. held on March 16, 2006 resolved to set the maximum limit for the distribution of dividends at 25% of the realized and liquid earnings of each fiscal year, said restriction will remain in force as long as the Company's Shareholders' Equity is less than Ps. 300,000 (Ps. 122,320,811 in closing currency).

NOTE 37. ECONOMIC CONTEXT WHERE THE GROUP OPERATES |
The Group operates in a complex economic context, both internationally and nationally.
Regarding the international sphere,the beginning of 2025 was characterized by increased volatility in international markets due to trade conflicts triggered by the tariffs announced by Donald Trump. However, the settlement of various trade agreements reduced volatility and benefited global stock markets in the last month. Specifically, while the tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico were set at 25%, for the rest of the countries they were set at 10% for 90 days, with the exception of China, which was set at 30% for the same period. Although the final effect of these measures on the disinflation and economic activity scenario is unknown, the Federal Reserve kept the reference rate unchanged at its May meeting. Investors currently expect the announcement of a rate cut to be made at the September meeting. Regarding the markets, trade agreements have benefited equity, with the S&P and Nasdaq advancing 1.7% and 3.3% respectively so far this year.
At the local level, in 2024, the Gross Domestic Product exhibited an average annual decline of 1.7% compared to 2023. The decline was explained by investment (-17.8%), private consumption (-4.2%), and public consumption (-3.2%). Exports, on the other hand, grew by 23.2%. In seasonally adjusted terms, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Gross Domestic Product grew 1.4% compared to the previous quarter. Additionally, according to data from the Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity, March 2025 would have seen a decline of 1.8% compared to the previous month.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
After closing 2023 with monthly inflation of 25.5% in December, price dynamics have shown a sustained slowdown throughout 2024, ending the year with a monthly variation of 2.7% in December. In year-on-year terms, inflation in 2024 closed at 117.8%. In April 2025, monthly inflation stood at 2.8%, while year-on-year inflation fell to 47.3%.
The exchange rate maintained its 2% monthly crawl throughout 2024, although the Central Bank moderated the rate of variation to 1% monthly as of February 1, 2025. On Friday, April 11, 2025, the Central Bank implemented a system of exchange rate bands, within which the exchange rate may fluctuate freely. These limits start at Ps.1,000 and Ps.1,400 and will be adjusted monthly at a rate of -1% for the lower band and +1% for the upper band. As of June 3, 2025, the exchange rate stood at Ps.1,184.00.
At the same time, exchange restrictions for individuals were eliminated, dividend transfers abroad were enabled for balance sheets beginning in 2025, and import payments were made more flexible, favoring trade and investment. Likewise, the commercial exchange rate was unified, and progress was made in simplifying access to the foreign exchange market.
These measures are complemented by strong external support, including a new EFF agreement with the IMF for US$20 billion, of which US$15 billion would be disbursed throughout 2025, and additional lines of credit with multilateral organizations and international banks for US$6.1 billion.
In 2024, the current account balance of the Foreign Exchange Balance amounted to US$1.695 billion, while the capital and financial account balance totaled US$4.398 billion over the same period.
During 2024, International Reserves increased by US$ 6.567 billion, a result explained by foreign currency purchases from the private sector. These purchases totaled US$18.71 billion during the aforementioned period. As of June 3, 2025, International Reserves stood at US$37.768 billion, an increase of US$8.128 billion compared to the previous year-end. This increase includes the first disbursement of the new agreement with the International Monetary Fund, amounting to approximately US$12 billion.
As of December 30, 2024, private sector dollar deposits amounted to US$31.442 billion, an increase of US$15.639 billion compared to the end of 2023, partly explained by Stage 1 of the asset regularization process, carried out between mid-August and early November. As of May 30, 2025, the balance of private sector deposits in foreign currency totaled US$30.618 billion, a decrease of US$1.05 billion compared to the end of last year.
For its part, dollar credit to the private sector stood at US$10.829 billion at the end of December 2024, an increase of US$7.419 billion during the aforementioned period. According to the latest available data, the balance of dollar credit to the private sector was US$15.733 billion, an increase of US$4.904 billion compared to the end of 2024.
The monetary authority carried out successive reductions in the reference interest rate throughout 2024 and continues to reduce the rate throughout 2025. Specifically, the reference interest rate was reduced from 100% at the beginning of 2024 to 32% as of December 6. An additional reduction was made on January 31, 2025, and the yield on the Fiscal Liquidity Bills fell to 29%.
Since early October 2024, the monetary authority has begun publishing a new interest rate for fixed-term deposits of Ps.1 billion or more, with a maturity of 30 to 35 days, called the Argentine Wholesale Rate (TAMAR). As of June 2, the TAMAR stood at 34.3%.
During 2024, the Non-Financial Public Sector posted a primary surplus of Ps.10,405,810 million (equivalent to 1.8% of GDP). This result, net of interest payments, resulted in a positive financial result of Ps.1,764,786 million (0.3% of GDP). This was explained by a 27.5% year-over-year drop in real spending, which outweighed the real decline in revenues (-4.9% year-over-year).
In April 2025, the accumulated primary income recorded a surplus of Ps.5,203,069 million (0.6% of GDP), while the accumulated financial income was positive by Ps.1,881,730 million (0.2% of GDP).
At the end of January, the Government announced that a temporary reduction in export duties on the main agricultural products (soybeans, soybean derivatives, wheat, barley, sorghum, corn, and sunflowers) would apply from January 27 to June 30, 2025. Additionally, withholding taxes were permanently eliminated for regional economies.
The context of volatility and uncertainty continues at the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
The Group's Directors permanently monitor the evolution of the variables that affect their business, to define their course of action and identify the potential impacts on their financial position. These consolidated financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.
