The BONEX Plan was a forced conversion of bank time deposits to Treasury bonds performed by the Argentine government in January 1990.

US$3 billion worth of the public's deposits were converted to "Bonex 89" bonds to be repaid in 1999. It amounted to a partial default from the Central Bank and Treasury to commercial banks, who in turn partially defaulted into their depositors.

It was caused by the government's political inability to undertake rigorous fiscal reforms, and a monetary sterilization policy which generated a major 'quasi fiscal' deficit to the Central Bank, further fueling a long-standing high inflation rate. Its high debt made the Central Bank lost most of its capacity to carry out independent monetary policy.

A freezing of deposits was also undertaken in neighbor country Brazil at the time, during the Plano Collor.
