How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|

| ARS | weaker growth and rising uncertainty can add pressure to the peso through weaker confidence and capital-flow expectations | Down1-5d | the report described the economy as entering a contractionary phase |
