That the Political Constitution of the State in paragraph I of its article 322 establishes that the Plurinational Legislative Assembly will authorize the contracting of public debt when the capacity to generate income to cover the principal and interest is demonstrated and the most advantageous conditions in rates, terms, amounts, and other circumstances are technically justified.

That Law No. 1178 in its article 11 provides that any internal or external public debt with a term equal to or greater than one year shall be contracted by the highest authority of the State Treasury System, on behalf of the National Treasury or the beneficiary entity that assumes responsibility for the service of the respective debt.

That Law No. 1670 in its article 1 determines that the BCB is the sole monetary and exchange authority of the country, with administrative, technical, and financial competence and specialized normative powers of general application. In its article 44, it provides that the highest authority of the BCB is its Board of Directors. In letters a), j), and q) of its article 54, it indicates as attributions of the BCB Board of Directors to issue norms and adopt general decisions that are necessary for the Issuing Entity to fulfill the functions, competencies, and powers assigned to it by Law, as well as to set the interest rate of the credits granted by the BCB, taking into account market rates for similar operations and establishing its other terms and conditions; in addition to those necessary for the fulfillment of its functions.

That the aforementioned Law, in letter e) of its article 59, establishes that it is the attribution of the President of the BCB to exercise the legal representation of the BCB, without prejudice to its powers of delegation according to the Law.

That Law No. 1705 in its final provision first, authorizes the BCB to grant an extraordinary credit on concessional terms in favor of the MEFP, through the General Treasury of the Nation, intended to fully finance the short-term obligations incurred during the 2025 management, within the framework of public debt administration and liability management operations. For this effect, the BCB is exempted from the application of
