Argentina strenghens the framework against proliferation financing and updates reporting thresholds for the automotive sector
The Financial Information Unit (UIF) issued Resolution 3/2026 (published on January 8, 2026), which defines the mechanism for reporting suspicious transactions for the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (“PF”), as well as the procedure for freezing goods or other assets of persons and entities designated in relation to the PF. Consequently, the obligations for all the obligated entities listed in Article 20 of Law 25,246 (the “Obligated Entities”) are unified, aligning the country with the standards of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on the matter. Likewise, as of January 15, 2026, the new thresholds applicable to the automotive sector came into force, updated in accordance with the Automotive Sector Price Index and pursuant to the mechanism established by UIF Resolutions No. 169/2023 and No. 127/2012.
