What was promised

That the end of inflation reactivates productive and mortgage credit (financial deepening).

Where it stands today

Loans to the private sector: $140.3 trillion as of Aug 6, 2026 vs $101.8 trillion a year earlier: +37.9% nominal YoY = ~+3.3% real (vs CPI 33.5% YoY) estim the deflated figure. verif · Aug 6, 2026 ↗

What it is measured against1

The credit inheritance: the stock of loans to the private sector was $17.16 trillion on 30 November 2023 and is $141.36 trillion on 31 July 2026 — nominally ×8.24, but the CPI rose ×4.29 over the same stretch, so in real terms the stock nearly doubles: +92.0%. ⚠️ This is the axis where the arc changes the reading the most: the year-on-year figure this axis publishes (~+3.3% real) reads as if credit were standing still, and against the inheritance it is 92% higher. ⛔ The arc does NOT go in nominal pesos: multiplying by 8 in an economy coming from 12.8% monthly inflation says nothing, and it is the same reason credit never entered the Dashboard as a sparkline. estim · Nov 2023

Our reading

Trend▲ improving (editorial reading, anchored to the data)

What it enables if sustained thesis

Credit ~+5% real → firms stop depending only on their cash → investment decouples from cash flow → an SME supplier can scale at Vaca Muerta's pace without waiting for its own profits. R3

Mortgages reviving → demand for construction and non-tradable employment → the channel through which the macro reaches whoever exports nothing. R3

Argentine credit starts from an extremely low floor in regional comparison → the runway is structural, not a rebound: each point of disinflation frees years of contained financial deepening. R3

What we watchA brake in real credit (very high real rates or rising delinquency) → the reactivation does not reach SMEs and households; watch the monthly BCRA series and delinquency.

The rules that rest on the same inference12

The rule is R3 · stability → long-term investment. These rules declare it too: they push in the direction this axis measures. Another 5 axes of the dashboard rest on it.
