BCRA adds dollar payroll reporting code

The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic published Communication "A" 8466, released in the Official Gazette on Aug. 21, 2026, to replace a page in the consolidated text of Section 10, "Submission of information to the Central Bank," and add code 3, "Payment of wages in U.S. dollars," as a new type of crediting that must be reported.

What changes in BCRA reporting?

The new communication updates the reporting regime for wage payments made through bank-account credits so it aligns with earlier provisions in Communication "A" 8465. According to the material reviewed, the goal is for the BCRA to identify and monitor, in a specific way, salary credits made in dollars to payroll accounts.

An Argentine business outlet, separate from the Official Gazette, added that Communications "A" 8465 and 8466 also update the correspondence table used for quarterly and annual oversight. That reference suggests the change is more than a formal catalog update, since it also refreshes the regulatory monitoring layer for those credits.

What does the BMV say about listing maintenance?

The Mexican Stock Exchange keeps an annual review process for minimum maintenance requirements for listed issuers, based on Article 28 of the general provisions applicable to issuers of securities and other market participants issued by the CNBV.

The BMV’s own documents say the results of that review are reported to the CNBV in June and that, under Article 29, the exchange can require specific remediation programs for breaches. In the materials reviewed, that framework is tied to ongoing obligations for disclosure, corporate governance, internal controls, and risk management, including technology risks.

What role does the DOF play in Mexico?

Mexico’s Official Gazette publishes daily financial-sector reforms and agreements, and it maintains a PDF notice system for general provisions applicable to the sector. In the material reviewed, that official channel appears to be the route used for changes to compliance requirements, deadlines, and regulatory adjustments that can include technology and information security.

The available information does not show, in this period, any new banking cybersecurity guidelines issued by the BCRA, the CNBV, or Banxico. What does appear is a shift in the regulatory and reporting framework in both Argentina and Mexico, with direct effects on how institutions and issuers document, supervise, and maintain their controls.
