2026-06-08 | RESOLUCIÓN DE DIRECTORIO N° 075/2026Added · Updated
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia revokes the Regulation on the Transport of Monetary Material and/or Values approved by Board Resolution No. 131/2017. This repeal is enacted because the regulation of this service is now adequately covered by higher-level laws and specific regulations issued by the ASFI, the Ministry of Government, and the National Customs, rendering the previous BCB regulation operationally obsolete. The resolution enters into force upon publication, with the Presidency and General Management tasked with its execution.
That Law No. 1670 in its articles 44 and 54, subsections a), o), and q), provides that the highest authority of the BCB is its Board of Directors, which has the authority to issue norms and adopt general decisions necessary for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies, and powers assigned to it by Law; as well as to 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 any additional administrative act, and those necessary for the fulfillment of its functions.
That Law No. 393 in subsection f) of paragraph I of its article 123 determines that the transport of monetary material and/or values is a complementary financial service.
That the Statute of the BCB in numerals 1) and 3) of its article 5, provides that the BCB has the authority to issue specialized norms in the fields assigned to it by Law and technical authority for the formulation of policies and the application of instruments that allow it to fulfill its purpose. In numerals 1), 2), 30), and 49) of its article 10, it establishes as attributions of the Board of Directors, the approval of general decisions and the issuance of norms that are necessary
//2. B.R. No. 75/2026
for the BCB to fulfill the functions, competencies, and powers assigned to it by Law; to define the BCB's policies, specialized norms of general application, and internal norms; in addition to approving, modifying, and interpreting 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, and other attributions necessary for the fulfillment of its functions.
That the Regulation on the Transport of Monetary Material and/or Values in its article 1, establishes that its purpose is to regulate the service of transport of monetary material and/or values within the scope of the payment system and the national financial system.
That through report BCB-GEF-SSPSF-DVSP-INF-2026-18, the GEF concludes and recommends that it is pertinent and technically viable to revoke the Regulation on the Transport of Monetary Material and/or Values approved by Board Resolution No. 131/2017 of September 26, 2017, because, currently, the regulation of the service of transport of monetary material and/or values in the financial system is contained in higher-level norms, as well as in specific norms, with the applicable provisions in this matter assigned to the competent authorities according to the current legal framework, so that said Regulation lacks operational utility.
That through report BCB-GAL-SANO-DLBCI-INF-2026-126, the GAL concludes that since the service of transport of monetary material and values is regulated by Law No. 393 and the specific regulation issued by the ASFI, the Ministry of Government, and the National Customs, the proposal of the GEF to revoke the Regulation on the Transport of Monetary Material and/or Values approved with Board Resolution No. 131/2017 of September 26, 2017, is legally viable as it does not violate the current legal order, being the competence of the Board of Directors of the BCB to revoke the cited Regulation, in accordance with what is established in subsections a), o), and q) of article 54 of Law No. 1670, numerals 1) and 3) of article 5 and numerals 1), 2), 30), and 49) of article 10 of the Statute of the BCB.
Article 1.- Revoke the Regulation on the Transport of Monetary Material and/or Values approved by Board Resolution No. 131/2017 of September 26, 2017.
//3. B.R. No. 75/2026
Article 2.- This Board Resolution shall enter into force from its publication.
Article 3.- The Presidency and the General Management are charged with the execution and compliance of this Resolution.
