CMN Resolution No. 4814 - Amends Resolution No. 4,677 of July 31, 2018, which establishes maximum exposure limits per client and maximum limits for concentrated exposures

The Central Bank of Brazil, acting on behalf of the National Monetary Council, amends Resolution No. 4,677 to update regulations regarding maximum exposure limits and concentrated exposures for financial institutions. The amendments introduce specific conditions for interfinancial transfers within cooperative credit systems, requiring unconditional and unilateral collection prerogatives in favor of the transferring institution. Additionally, the resolution clarifies risk recognition protocols, stipulating that cooperative banks must treat the end borrower as the counterparty for exposure limits when specific risk mitigation conditions are met.

"Article 17. .....................................................

§ 6. The provisions of the main text do not apply to the exposure of a cooperative bank, a central credit cooperative, or a confederation of central cooperatives towards a member of a singular credit cooperative, provided that the following conditions are cumulatively met:

III - the credit risk of the exposure is formally and fully assumed by the singular credit cooperative of which the member is a part.

§ 7. For the purposes of observing the limits established in this Resolution, the existence of exposure under the terms of § 6 implies the recognition, by the cooperative bank, the central credit cooperative, or the confederation of central cooperatives, of the member as the counterparty of the exposure, instead of the provider of the instrument mitigating the credit risk."
