Argentina’s Securities Commission (CNV) president Roberto E. Silva opened the Argentine Institute of Finance Executives (IAEF) Capital Markets and Corporate Finance Symposium and, in a panel on “Efficient Regulation 2026”, presented the CNV board’s “unprecedented” regulatory modernisation programme, citing the adoption of 100 General Resolutions under the current administration. He linked the package to deregulation and simplification measures intended to speed up issuance processes and to new frameworks such as the Automatic Public Offering regime, as well as regional “first mover” initiatives on tokenisation and the regulation of Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAVs). Silva highlighted measures he characterised as milestones, including rules related to the lifting of foreign exchange controls in the capital markets, a new private offering framework introducing a safe harbour mechanism, the PSAV regime, and the Automatic Public Offering regime for low and medium impact issuances and for frequent issuers. He also referenced regulatory flexibilities for issuers, financial trusts and mutual funds, SME financing measures, the inclusion of CEDEARs linked to virtual assets, commodities and indices, and the creation of investment funds known as “article 7 bis”, while noting the ambition to align Argentina’s capital markets with international standards. CNV board member Laura Herbón attended the event, which also featured remarks from Argentina’s Treasury Secretary Carlos Guberman and Central Bank of the Argentine Republic director Federico Furiase, alongside market leaders and executives discussing competitiveness, risks and regulation, savings and investment opportunities, public finances and the external sector, and sustainability.
