2019 was a challenging period for the banking sector in Argentina. Starting in April 2018, an economic contraction unfolded, continuing throughout 2019, deteriorating business activity. A sharp devaluation of the Argentine peso and a jump in inflation resulted in a wave of corporate bankruptcies and a rise in delinquencies of commercial loans. The NPL ratio of the banking sector rose by 2.6pp during the year to 5.7% at end-2019, with the increase being particularly stark for public banks, with delinquencies standing at 7.3% as of December 2019, 490bp higher than the previous year. In this context of economic malaise, total outstanding loans rose by 15.8% y/y, much below the inflation rate of 52.9% y/y at end-2019, which indicated a 24.3% y/y reduction of the loan portfolio in real terms. The deposit base followed a similar pattern, increasing by 16.4% y/y in nominal terms, which translates into an inflation-adjusted decrease of 23.9% y/y.
