These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Good morning, and welcome to BBVA Argentina's third quarter 2022 earnings conference call. Today's webinar will be supported by a slide presentation available on our Investor Relations website on the Financial Information section.

Speaking during today's call will be Ines Lanusse, our Investor Relations Officer; and Carmen Morillo Arroyo, our new Chief Financial Officer, who will be available for the Q&A session. Please note that starting January 1, 2020, as per Central Bank regulation, we have begun reporting results applying hyperinflation accounting pursuant to IFRS rule IAS-29.

For ease of comparability, 2021 and 2022 figures have been restated to reflect the accumulated effect of the inflation adjustment for each period through September 30, 2022.

Now let me turn the call over to Ines.

Ines Lanusse

Thank you, Belen, and thank you all of you for joining us today. As we are all aware, the combination of an unstable global context and the difficulties of our country to correct current macroeconomic distortions and to meet the established objectives in the loan agreement with the IMF, local market volatility [indiscernible] especially in the FX markets and local currency debt markets, a high uncertainty persists about the future development of our economic policy.
