Procedure for the Return of CPVIS II-ME, CPVIS III, and CPRO-ME Funds to Financial Intermediation Entities
The Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) outlines the procedure for returning CPVIS II-ME, CPVIS III, and CPRO-ME funds to Financial Intermediation Entities (EIFs), following a schedule from Circular Externa CIEX N° 8/2026. Funds are credited to EIFs' foreign currency accounts, contingent on prior cancellation of national currency liquidity loans, with any shortfall compensated by the fund's guarantee at the official exchange rate. EIFs may withdraw up to 30% of the returned foreign currency physically, with additional withdrawals (up to 30% and then 40% of the remaining balance) requiring a sworn declaration confirming distribution to clients. Non-banking entities must process withdrawals electronically via the Integrated Payment Settlement System (LIP) using operation E31.
