Board Resolution No. 141/2026

The Board of the Central Bank of Bolivia establishes an Extended Monetary Reserve (RMA) as a mandatory monetary policy instrument for Multiple Banks and the Public Bank to sterilize national currency liquidity. The reserve requires entities to set aside an amount equivalent to 2.5% of specified national currency deposits, calculated based on balances as of September 25, 2026, and implemented in two tranches of 1.0% and 1.5%. These funds are non-remunerated, immobilized at the Central Bank, and cannot be used for legal reserve requirements or other operations, remaining in effect until March 25, 2027.
