That according to Article 10 of Law No. 1670, the Central Bank of Bolivia exercises the exclusive and non-delegable function of issuing the monetary unit of Bolivia, in the form of banknotes and metallic coins.

That it is an attribution of the Board of Directors according to Article 54, subsection m) of Law No. 1670 and numeral 11 of Article 11 of the Statute, to authorize and supervise the issuance of banknotes and coins.

That Article 3 of the Regulation on Monetization, Distribution, and Destruction of Monetary Material establishes that it is the faculty of the Board of Directors of the BCB to authorize the monetization of monetary material based on the reports of the Treasury Management (GTES) and the Legal Affairs Management, in accordance with the issuance or storage requirements determined by the GTES.

That in accordance with the Banknote Provision Contract SANO No. 095/2014 and its modifying contracts, signed with the company Oberthur Technologies, the Central Bank of Bolivia received the first batch of 50 Bolivianos banknotes.
