BC denies having signed a deadline with BRB to resolve the breach and liquidity

The president of the BC (Central Bank), Gabriel Galípolo, stated this Monday (25) that the municipality did not make any agreement with the BRB (Banco Regional de Brasília) regarding deadlines for the financial institution to present its balance sheet or resolve the liquidity problem.

"The Central Bank has not agreed any type of deadline with any institution. We analyze all of them using supervision and inspection methods to understand how they are complying with their obligations. And, in the case of any non-compliance, how they are taking measures to resolve the problem", said Galípolo.

The BC president's statement was given in the same week that BRB intends to present its financial statement - scheduled to be sent by next Friday (29).

In the document, BRB must present, in addition to the bank's current numbers, possible solutions to capitalize the financial institution linked to the government of the Federal District.

BRB faces a liquidity and equity crisis after the loss caused by the purchase of bad assets from Banco Master. The estimate is that the loss caused to Banco de Brasília due to transactions with Daniel Vorcaro's group will be up to R$8.8 billion.

Among the measures studied by BRB are the negotiation of active debts of the DF government for the financial market, in a type of sale of "premiums".

"In cases that are necessary and where the law requires the application of fines, fines have been applied. There is no type of waiver [resignation] granted to an institution", declared the president of the BC.

Gabriel Galípolo's statements were made during a press conference on the Financial Stability Report, released this Monday (25) by the Central Bank.

"The BC is looking daily at whether each institution is fulfilling its obligations. In abstract, any institution that has an equity problem, the ways they can solve it are, for example, contribution, sale of assets at a premium", added Galípolo.

"There is no D-day"
At the same event, the Director of Supervision of the Central Bank, Aílton de Aquino, said that the monetary authority "will comply with the law", when asked about BRB's next steps.

"We don't comment on the BRB, but we need to follow all the items of the law. There is no 'D-day'. We need to move in the direction of the law. Brazil has to discuss the matter based on the mission of the body and not by entity", stated Ailton de Aquino.
