 14, 2016, the UIF issued Resolution No. 135/2016, which was subsequently amended and strengthened the regulations regarding the international exchange of information between similar authorities which may enter into agreements or memoranda of understanding as well as to the foreign public bodies that are members of the Egmont Group of UIF or the Asset Recovery Network of the Financial Action Task Force of Latin American.
 On January 11, 2017, the UIF published Resolution No. 4/2017, which established that special due diligence measures must be applied for identifying foreign and domestic investors (who shall comply with the requirements therein set forth to qualify as such) in the Republic of Argentina upon requesting the opening of special investment accounts.
 
Among different Resolutions, including Resolutions No. 35/2023 and No. 192/2024, the UIF has prepared a list of persons considered to be “politically exposed persons” (“PEP”) in Argentina, taking into account any positions occupied by them in the present or in the past, and their relationship by closeness or affinity with third parties who occupy or have occupied such positions.
 
Likewise, it is specified that the affidavit through which clients are required to declare whether they do or do not hold the status of PEP must be signed not only at the commencement of the business relationship but also at the moment of changing the PEP status, whether they begin to hold such status or cease to do so.
 
In July 2019, by Decree No. 489/2019, the PEN created the Public Registry of Persons and Entities Linked to Acts of Terrorism and its Financing (Registro Público de Personas y Entidades Vinculadas a Actos de Terrorismo y su Financiamiento) (the “RePET”), to centralize and manage all information related to the administrative freezing of assets linked to acts of terrorism and its financing. RePET is empowered to provide public access and guarantee the exchange of information with the agencies with competence in the field and with third countries, and the reporting parties must provide all information related to transactions carried out or attempted by individuals or legal entities included in RePET.
 
In turn, on November 14, 2019, by means of General Resolution No. 816, the CNV adapted the regulations related to the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, in order to include the new obliged subjects contemplated in the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and in the Regulations on Money Laundering in the Capital
