Resolution 095/2000

BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 095/2000 SUBJECT: FINANCIAL ENTITIES MANAGEMENT – APPROVES MODIFICATIONS TO THE REGULATION ON THE COLLECTION OF OLD DELINQUENT PORTFOLIO.

HAVING SEEN: Law No. 1670 of October 31, 1995. Supreme Decree No. 25336 of March 29, 1999. Board Resolution 053/99 of June 22, 1999. Report from the Financial Entities Management and Legal Affairs Department GEF-SRRA No. 292-204/2000 of December 11, 2000.

CONSIDERING

That through Board Resolution No. 053/99, the Regulation on the Collection of Old Delinquent Portfolio was approved, regulating procedures for the recovery, restructuring, and/or write-off of delinquent, overdue, or judicially collected portfolio received by the BCB in administration and in transfer of ownership from the ex-INALPRE and the Banks in Liquidation of Crédito Oruro S.A., Progreso Nacional SAM, Potosí S.A., and Vivienda SAM.

That Article 3 of Supreme Decree No. 25336 authorizes the BCB to recover the portfolio delivered by the former National Pre-investment Institute (public and private sector) under the incentive and penalty conditions determined by its Board.

That Article 54, paragraph j) of Law 1670, empowers the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia to set and modify interest rates on credits granted by the BCB, taking into account market rates, as well as to establish terms and conditions.

That Report GEF-SRRA No. 292-204/2000 from the Financial Entities and Legal Affairs Departments recommends to the Board that payments and restructurings of the credits referred to in said report be deemed valid, and suggests, with the aim of not having a discriminatory policy, that the Board consider modifying Articles 6 and 15 of the Regulation on the Collection of Old Delinquent Portfolio, allowing debtors whose credits are in judicial execution with a sentence to avail themselves of the benefits granted in said Regulation, so that the BCB receives greater income in concept of recovery of old delinquent portfolio.
