In 2024 the BCRA ran an export-dollar blend (dólar blend/exportador) to accumulate reserves under Milei-Caputo.

Context

Neighbouring surplus is the fiscal cousin. Neighbouring cepo 2025 is later easing. He did not sit as every exporter.

Surplus 2024 is neighbouring. Cepo easing 2025 is later. Devaluation 2023 is the parent shock.

The President of Argentina heads the federal executive, issues decrees of necessity and urgency subject to congressional review, and appoints the cabinet. He does not write INDEC prints, an IMF board decision, a US Treasury backstop, or a Central Bank balance sheet by himself. Congress, governors, the BCRA, and coalition deputies share specific files. Dollarisation announced is not dollarisation completed.

Why it matters

The path is energy-adjacent reserves and fiscal: a completed blend scheme is a dated reserve-accumulation instrument.

What the sources establish

Central Bank of Argentina carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: 2024 BCRA export-dollar blend, independently reported.

Not established: that cepo had already ended, or a unique later harvest coefficient from August.

Caputo owned the programme. He set the political weather. Exporters used the window.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The BCRA runs an export-dollar blend to accumulate reserves, not a later speech about The BCRA runs an export-dollar blend to accumulate reserves.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The BCRA designed the blend. Caputo owned the programme. He set the political weather. Exporters used the window. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
