Economic Environment
The Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity (known by its acronym in Spanish as EMAE) has changed its base year to 2004 (from the previous base year 1993). The new series recorded for February showed a 1.3% growth compared to the same period of 2013 and 0% during the month. As a consequence of the change in the methodology it is not possible to make a comparative analysis with previous quarters.
The Monthly Industrial Estimator decreased 1.1% during the first quarter of 2014 (seasonally adjusted), showing an improvement respect to the decrease of 2% in the last quarter of 2013. In a year-on-year basis it fell 6% accelerating relative to 5.4% decrease registered in December 2013.
The Synthetic Index of Construction Activity registered a decline of 3.0% in January-March 2014, (seasonally adjusted) in comparison with the previous quarter and decreased 3.2% with respect to the same period of 2013.
Inflation, measured since January by the new official National and Urban Consumer Price Index (which is used to calculate the CER adjustment for some sovereign bonds) increased by 10% in the first quarter of 2014. The new index is national in scope (compared to the previously used indicator which covered the Greater Buenos Aires area) and uses as a base year (2013=100). Given this change, no historical data exits and it is not possible to make a comparative analysis with the previous rates.
The national public sector fiscal balance showed a primary deficit of AR$ 4.8 billion during January-February 2014 compared to a surplus of AR$ 1.1 billion in the same period of 2013. Primary public sector spending increased 34.9% and public sector revenues had a smaller increase, of 31.4% during January-February 2014.
Tax revenues increased by 25.4% due to a decline in export duties, but tax revenues were reinforced by the increase in results from the BCRA and transfers from the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) to the National Treasury.
Interest payments decreased by 11.7% annually and the total deficit reached AR$ 10.8 billion, an increase of 30.5% compared to the same period in 2013. Increased expending in public works (by 44.8%) and in transfers to the private sector (by 33.7%) were
primarily responsible for the increase in primary spending in the period.
In the external sector, the accumulated trade surplus in the first quarter of 2014 reached USD 121 million, 91.9% lower than that recorded in the same period of 2013. The performance of the trade balance is the result of total exports in the first quarter of 2014 of USD 15.9 billion (-9.1%) and total imports of USD 15.8 billion (-1.3%).
In the FX market, the exchange rate (BCRA reference rate) closed at AR$ 8.01 per U.S. dollar on March 31, 2014, increasing 23.4% compared to the AR$ 6.4892 rate registered on December 31, 2013.
In the first quarter of 2014, the stock of international reserves of the BCRA decreased by USD 3.6 billion to USD 27 billion as of March 31, 2014. During the quarter, the Central Bank bought USD 386 million in the FX market, in contrast with the previous quarter when it sold USD 4.9 billion.
The Badlar interest rate for private banks increased 516 b.p. on the first quarter of 2014, averaging 24.5% compared to a 19.3% average in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Private sector loans in pesos increased 1.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, while private sector loans in dollars grew by 2.5%.
Total deposits in pesos in the financial system increased by 3.5% during the same period, private sector deposits in pesos increased by 4.4% and private sector deposits in dollars decreased by -3.7%.

In addition, the public bond portfolio also registered significant gains.
Provisions for loan losses increased compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to a higher volume of lending
and the deterioration of the loan portfolio. Compared to the previous quarter it recorded a slight decrease.

Net Financial Income
Net financial income arising from the intermediation with the private sector grew 10.4% compared to the first quarter of 2013. It registered a decrease of 6.3% compared with the previous quarter, mainly due to a lower volume of lending and an increase in the cost of funds, as result of a change in the mix of deposits.
Income from securities and short term investments includes non-recurring income originated by variations in the valuation of public securities. Such results totaled a gain of AR$ 192.1 million during the
quarter under analysis and of AR$ 49.1 million as of March 31, 2013, whereas the previous quarter recorded a loss of AR$ 66.2 million. In addition, it is important to mention that the line item “CER Adjustment” also registered a significant increase as result of the new CPI index applied since January 2014.
Furthermore, the line item “Foreign exchange difference and others” reflected the effect of the appreciation of the foreign exchange that took place during the quarter.

Income from Public and Private Securities
The Bank has the discretion to mark-to-market its total public bonds portfolio; because of that, such income includes the unrealized losses/gains from variations in the valuations of the portfolio.

Net Income from Services
Net income form services increased by 33.8% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and by 9.2% compared to the previous quarter.
In the annual comparison, growth was due mainly by higher consumption with credit cards, fees associated with insurance and fees generated by an increase in the stock of deposit accounts. Such growth was partially offset by an increase in service charge expenses related to promotions associated with the LANPASS kilometers program.
In the quarterly comparison, income from services increased 7.0% during the quarter due to higher fees generated by capital markets and securities activities, by insurance and by credit and debit cards purchases. Service charge expenses also grew 1.6% during this period.

As of March 31, 2014, public sector National treasure assets represented 2.9% of the Bank’s total assets. Total exposure to BCRA’s bills and notes net of holdings linked to reverse repo transactions, represented 7.6% of the Bank’s total assets.
