Resolution 047/98 on Transfer and Delegation of Fiscal Current Accounts
The Central Bank of Bolivia mandates the transfer of all fiscal current accounts to its administration by June 30, 1998, followed by their delegation to Accredited Financial Entities (EFAs) starting July 1, 1998. EFAs must account for these accounts in off-balance-sheet items, submit daily transaction reports by 19:00 and detailed balance reports by 11:00 the following business day, and remit monthly statements within the first twenty days of the subsequent month. During the interim period from May 4 to June 30, 1998, EFAs are required to deposit 100% of fiscal account balances into their BCB 'Fiscal Funds' accounts, and custody funds for these accounts are immediately nullified. The Central Bank will debit or credit EFAs for daily deposit flow discrepancies and impose penalties based on the national repo rate for overpayments.
BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 047/98 SUBJECT: CURRENCY AND CREDIT - TRANSFER AND DELEGATION OF FISCAL CURRENT ACCOUNTS.
VIEWING: Law No. 1670 of October 31, 1995. Board Resolutions 180/97 and 028/98. Direct Invitation 006/98 for Correspondence Services by Delegated Administration. Report No. 09/98 from the Currency and Credit Management dated April 15, 1998. Legal Advisory Report ALEG No. 141/98 dated April 20, 1998.
CONSIDERING: That Board Resolution No. 180/97 approves the Legal Reserve Regulation for Institutions of the Financial System.
That Board Resolution No. 028/98 modifies Article 4 of the aforementioned Resolution, establishing that the Legal Reserve Regulation will enter into force on May 4, 1998.
That Report No. 09/98 from the Currency and Credit Management suggests regulating financial operations with fiscal current accounts, because Board Resolution No. 180/97 does not include these accounts in the new legal reserve system. Furthermore, because the awarding of Correspondence Services by Delegated Administration has been postponed, it recommends continuing the operations and accounting records of said accounts until June 30, 1998.
That in the opinion of the Legal Advisory, the Board of the Bank has the authority to regulate financial operations with fiscal current accounts, in accordance with articles 24 and 29 subsection g) of Law 1670 of October 31, 1995.
