Resolution 092/2002
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia revokes Resolution 076/2002, which had authorized financial intermediation entities to engage in portfolio purchase and call option sale operations as exceptional liquidity mechanisms. This revocation takes effect immediately, as the massive reduction in public deposits has been reversed and systemic risk probabilities have substantially decreased, making exceptional liquidity channels unnecessary. The Presidency and General Management are tasked with executing and complying with this resolution.
