Adjustments,\u201d <\/strong>directed to private banks and financial institutions to incorporate the U.S. dollar as an admitted currency for wage operations.<\/p>\n<p>The document stresses that these institutions are to <strong>\u201cinclude the U.S. dollar as an accepted currency for deposits into the \u2018Salary Account\u2019 provided for in point 2.1 of the consolidated text on Savings, Salary, and Special Accounts.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the bank stressed that private banks must accept and support deposits and withdrawal operations involving the U.S. dollar to service customers taking advantage of this new possibility, providing these services gratuitously.<\/p>\n<p>The move is a follow-up to the inclusion of this possibility in the Labor Modernization Law, which previously authorized the payment and collection of wages in foreign currency <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/banks-beat-payment-providers-in-argentina-labor-reform-bans-payments-to-digital-wallets\/\">but left digital wallets out<\/a>, and follows the presentation of a Deregulation bill that also seeks to dynamize the national financial market.<\/p>\n<p>The companies enticed to take advantage of this opportunity are those that receive payments in dollars, including commodity exporters, software development houses, and digital design and marketing, among others. Most of these companies were already paying their employees in dollars, but did it informally through foreign accounts or other methods.<\/p>\n<p>Firms that don\u2019t receive payments in dollars are unlikely to pay in foreign currency, as they are still limited from accessing the official forex market by law. Even so, there is another issue: the historical distrust that Argentines have of banking institutions, having faced a dreaded cash withdrawal limitation established in 2001, informally denominated \u201ccorralito.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The currency of payment must be agreed upon between employer and employee, and the adoption of the dollar will depend on the employees\u2019 willingness to receive their payments through national banks, choosing to place their trust in the national banking system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/argentina-opens-the-door-to-usd-wages-as-central-bank-approves-dollar-salary-accounts\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Argentina\u2019s Central Bank directed private banks to process US dollar wages, expanding financial options.
