The Financial Information Unit partially amended rules which
regulate the obligations imposed by Law No. 25.246 on the Central
Bank of Argentina, the Superintendent of Insurance and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
On May 30, 2012, Resolution No. 92/2012 ("Resolution
92") of the Financial Information Unit ("UIF"),
which partially amends Resolutions No. 12/2011 ("Resolution
12"), No. 19/2011 ("Resolution 19") and No. 22/2011
("Resolution 22"), was published in the Official
Gazette.
Resolution 92 mainly amends the definition of "client"
provided in the above mentioned resolutions, replacing Subsection b
of Section 2 of each of them.
In the particular case of Resolution 12, that regulates the
obligations of the Central Bank of Argentina ("BCRA") as
an obliged subject, Resolution 92 states that "clients of the
Central Bank of Argentina are all entities governed by Law No.
21.526 and Law No. 18.924 as amended, and all individuals and legal
entities under its regulation, supervision, and/or
control".
In addition, Resolution 92 replaced the definition of
"client" for the Superintendent of Insurance
("SSN", to which Resolution 19 is applicable) and
provides that clients are "individuals and legal entities
regulated by Law No. 17,418, Law No. 20,091, Law No. 22,400 and Law
No. 24,557 as amended, related and complementary laws, and any
under its regulation, supervision and/or control".
Lastly, Section 2, Subsection b of Resolution 22 related to the
Exchange Commission ("CNV") presently states:
"clients of the Exchange Commission are individuals or legal
entities under its regulation, supervision and/or
control".
On the other hand, Resolution 92 revokes the provisions of
Resolution 12, Resolution 19 and Resolution 22 regarding the
obligation of cooperation and supervision of the BCRA, the SSN and
the CNV, respectively, due to the fact that those obligations are
governed by the provisions of the annex approved by Resolution No.
165/11 of the UIF.
It is important to highlight that Resolution 92 came into force
after its publication in the Official Gazette, i.e. on May 30,
2012.
