In recent developments, another bank has joined the movement to relaunch new lines of UVA credits for home purchase or construction. City Bank has announced its initial proposal, which includes a maximum amount of 250 million pesos with terms up to 20 years and an annual nominal rate of 5.5%, dropping to 3.5% for properties in the Buenos Aires microcenter. This capital owed will be adjusted at par with the value of the Purchasing Value Unit (UVA) to account for inflation.
Banco Hipotecario had previously launched a credit line with similar terms but extended to 30 years. They offer a rate of 8.5%, dropping to 4.25% for borrowers with a salary account at the bank. Priority for credits will be given to those with salary accounts at specific entities and will finance up to 80% of the operation.
In response to concerns about negative connotations associated with UVA loans, The National Bank is considering offering CER mortgages instead. They are also considering including a safeguard for debtors against inflation exceeding income by activating insurance to cover differences in the fee-income ratio.
Structured cabling has been highlighted as a way to reinvent small businesses by improving infrastructure and connectivity within a business environment, promoting efficiency and productivity. Various platforms and blogs discuss the benefits and impact of structured cabling on modern businesses.
These developments in the banking and infrastructure sectors show a commitment from public or semi-public banks, as well as private banks expected to join later in the year, towards adapting to modern demands and providing better services to customers and businesses alike.
