Board Resolution No. 050/2026 Approving the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia approves the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities, replacing the 2016 regulation effective May 5, 2026. The rule sets maximum long positions at 20% of net equity for foreign currencies and 20% of accounting equity for UFV-indexed units, and maximum short positions at 50% of accounting equity. Entities exceeding long position limits for more than three consecutive business days must deposit a 1% compensatory reserve on reserve-eligible obligations, which remains immobilized without interest until compliance is restored. The regulation applies to all financial intermediation entities except the Productive Development Bank and Development Financial Institutions.
