Board Resolution No. 85/2026 of June 23, 2026, which approves the Statute of the BCB. Board Resolution No. 88/2026 of June 26, 2026, which approves the BCB Foreign Exchange Operations Regulation. Board Resolution No. 90/2026 of June 26, 2026, which approves the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities. The report BCB-APEC-SPMEE-INF-2026-29 of July 1, 2026, issued by the Economic Policy Advisory (APEC) and the Financial Entities Management (GEF). The report BCB-GAL-SANO-DLBCI-INF-2026-169 of July 1, 2026, issued by the Legal Affairs Management (GAL).

CONSIDERING: That the Political Constitution of the State in its article 327 determines that the BCB has the function of maintaining the stability of the internal purchasing power of the currency to contribute to economic and social development. In its article 328 it states that the BCB, in coordination with the economic policy determined by the Executive Branch, in addition to those indicated by Law, has among its attributes to determine and execute monetary policy, execute exchange policy, regulate the payment system, authorize the issuance of currency and administer the International Reserves.

BOARD //2. R.D. No. 102/2026 That Law No. 1670 in its article 1 determines that the BCB is an institution of the State, of public law, of hierarchical character, of indefinite duration, with legal personality and own assets and with legal domicile in the city of La Paz. It is the only monetary and exchange authority of the country, with administrative, technical and financial competence and specialized regulatory powers of general application. In its article 3 it establishes that the BCB will formulate policies of general application in monetary, exchange and payment system matters for the fulfillment of its object.

That article 30 of Law No. 1670 states that all entities of the financial intermediation system and financial services, whose operation is authorized by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Entities, now the Financial System Supervision Authority (ASFI), are subject to the regulatory competence of the BCB.

That articles 44 and 54 subsections a) and o) of Law No. 1670 provide that the highest authority of the BCB is its Board of Directors, responsible for defining its policies, specialized regulations of general application and internal rules; as well as establishing administrative, operational and financial strategies of the Issuer Entity, approving their respective short and medium-term programs, which has the attributes to issue the rules and adopt the general decisions necessary for the Issuer Entity to fulfill the functions, competencies and powers assigned by Law; as well as approve, modify and interpret the Statute and Regulations of the BCB by two-thirds of the votes of all its members, without the need for an additional administrative act.

That the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities, in its article 1 establishes that its object is to regulate the foreign exchange position of Financial Intermediation Entities in denominations other than the national currency, in order to preserve the stability of the financial system, contribute to the execution of exchange policy and maintain the necessary control over the aggregated active and passive positions of Financial Intermediation Entities.

That the Foreign Exchange Operations Regulation in its article 1 provides that its object is to establish the procedures for the determination of the Official Exchange Rate (TCO) of the Bolivian with respect to the United States dollar (USD).

That the Statute of the BCB in numerals 1), 10) and 22) of its article 11 determines that the Board has the attributes to approve general decisions and issue the necessary rules for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies and powers assigned by Law; approve the rules for the execution of exchange policy and approve, modify and interpret the Statute and Regulations of the BCB, by two-thirds of the votes of all its members, without the need for an additional administrative act.

BOARD //3. R.D. No. 102/2026 CONSIDERING: That through report BCB-APEC-SPMEE-INF-2026-29, the APEC and GEF conclude and recommend to the Board of Directors of the BCB to approve the modification of the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities, incorporating the proposed modifications, with the objective of strengthening the conduct of exchange policy within the framework of the new regime in force, homogenize the criteria for the measurement of short and long positions and contribute to adequate intermediation in foreign currency without affecting exchange exposure.

That through report BCB-GAL-SANO-DLBCI-INF-2026-169, the GAL concludes that from the analysis carried out and in attention to the antecedents sent by the APEC and GEF, it is found that the proposal for modification of the Foreign Exchange Position Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities is legally viable as it does not violate the current legal order, so it corresponds to the Board of Directors of the BCB its approval in accordance with what is established in article 54 subsections a) and o) of Law No. 1670 and in article 11 numerals 1), 10) and 22) of the Statute of the BCB.
