FROM: GENERAL MANAGEMENT
FINANCIAL ENTITIES MANAGEMENT
TO: FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION ENTITIES
SUBJECT: PROCEDURE FOR THE RETURN OF CPVIS II-ME, CPVIS III, AND CPRO-ME FUNDS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION ENTITIES Gentlemen:
The Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB), within the framework of the Legal Reserve Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities, approved by Board Resolution (RD) N° 76/2022 and its amendments, communicates the applicable procedure for the return of CPVIS II-ME, CPVIS III, and CPRO-ME Funds to Financial Intermediation Entities (EIFs).

1. The return of Funds will be carried out in accordance with the schedule published through External Circular CIEX N° 8/2026, of May 25, 2026. The amount corresponding to each entity will be communicated to the contact email registered by each EIF for the Integrated Payment Settlement System (LIP), at least 2 business days before the return date.
2. The BCB will return to the EIFs their participation in each Fund, by crediting their current and/or reserve account in foreign currency, after cancellation of their liquidity loans in national currency, by debiting their current and/or reserve account in national currency. In the event that an EIF does not have sufficient resources in its current and/or reserve account in national currency to pay its liquidity loans, the balance will be offset with the liquidation of the Fund's guarantee at the Official Exchange Rate (TCO) on the day of the operation.
3. EIFs may request the withdrawal of foreign currency monetary material of up to thirty percent (30%) of the returned amount, from the date the return operation is carried out until the date of the next return, according to the aforementioned schedule.
4. For the withdrawal of foreign currency monetary material, EIFs must present the check or payment order, as appropriate, in accordance with the procedure defined in current regulations.
5. Non-banking entities that present payment orders must process them electronically through the LIP, using operation E31 – Cash withdrawal at BCB Tellers. Withdrawal requests by notes, letters, or other documentary means will not be accepted, as this operation is enabled for electronic processing by the entity through the LIP.
6. Each EIF must arrange the necessary logistics for the withdrawal of monetary material from the BCB facilities to its premises, including coordination for the entry of its authorized personnel and, when applicable, of the value transport company, in order to avoid delays and ensure compliance with the scheduled date for the return of the Funds.
7. EIFs may request withdrawals of foreign currency monetary material for an amount equivalent to up to an additional 30% of the returned amount and, subsequently, up to 40% of the remaining balance of said amount. In which case, for each request, the EIF must submit to the BCB and the Authority for the Supervision of the Financial System (ASFI) a note in the form of a sworn declaration, certifying that the monetary material previously delivered by the BCB was effectively distributed to its financial clients.
8. The notes in the form of a sworn declaration, mentioned in the previous point, must be sent, exclusively, with a digital signature to the email address for Procedures of the Central Bank of Bolivia (tramites@bcb.gob.bo), according to the attached note model. Procedures presented in physical format, by other documentary means, or with a handwritten signature will not be accepted.
9. In compliance with the Legal Reserve Regulation for Financial Intermediation Entities, ASFI will carry out the corresponding control according to its attributions.
   Sincerely.
