The net result of financial instruments, recorded an increase in interest earned from instruments measured at fair value issued by the BCRA (Leliq), as a consequence of the increase in rates and volume. On the other hand, the net interest result registered a drop as a result of an increase in the interest paid on fixed-term deposits due to the rate increase.

Annual nominal interest rates were calculated using a 360-day denominator. Average earning assets reached Ps.1,948,097 million, registering an increase of Ps.58,545 million (3%), compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was mainly the result of an increase in the volume of government securities in pesos for Ps.389,466 million (81%), offset by a decrease in the volume of other profitable assets in pesos for Ps.252,687 million (57%). The average lending rate for the quarter of the year was 63.30%, representing an increase of 2,705 b.p., compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This variation is mainly justified by higher average yields on public securities in pesos (3,367 bp), offset by lower average yields on public securities in foreign currency (2,331 bp). 17 Yields and rates

They are excluded from the obligations included in the determination of the minimum cash requirement. Communication "A" 7672 - Electronic certificate for term deposits and investments (CEDIP) In January 2023, the BCRA through communication "A" 7672, established the Electronic Certificate for Term Deposits and Investments, which will be transferable, compensable and divisible. Completely digital, it will have the record of all its transmissions with a certain date and will therefore be fully traceable. The Electronic Certificate for Term Deposits and Investments (CEDIP) is a new instrument in the digital payment system that expands savings and investment options. The decision to create it by the BCRA highlights the importance of fixed terms and term investments made through home banking or mobile banking being equal to those arranged in person and with more functionalities. The monetary authority clarifies that these provisions come into effect as of July 1st, 2023, except for the fractioning, transmission for trading, and over-the-counter functionality, which should only be operational as of November 1st of this year.
