Notices from the Bank of Portugal
Notice No. 9/2003
The obligation to set aside provisions provided for in letters a) and b) of paragraph 1 of Notice No. 3/95 does not apply to assets relating to the group of entities indicated in paragraph 1 of Article 15 of the same Notice, nor to assets guaranteed by them or to off-balance-sheet transactions negotiated on their behalf or with their guarantee. The list of these entities includes, in particular, the Deposit Guarantee Fund and the Mutual Agricultural Credit Guarantee Fund.
Taking into account the subject matter and legal regime of the Mutual Counter-Guarantee Fund established by Decree-Law No. 229/98 of 22 July, and considering the analogy with the regimes of the two other Guarantee Funds mentioned above, there are no prudential reasons justifying differential treatment.
Accordingly, the Bank of Portugal, using the competence attributed to it by letter e) of Article 99 of the General Regime of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies, approved by Decree-Law No. 298/92 of 31 December, establishes the following:
"n) Mutual Counter-Guarantee Fund."
Lisbon, 12 March 2003. - The Governor, Vítor Constâncio.
