Resolution 130/2004

The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Bolivia clarifies and interprets the application of Article 89 of the Portfolio Administration and Asset Sale Regulations, specifically modifying the procedure for direct sales of rural properties related to the BCB IV deposit return. The amendment establishes that the Mandatary must submit a legal, technical, and financial report to the Asset Recovery and Realization Committee for approval only if the offered purchase price is lower than the commercial appraisal value but higher than the quick sale value. Previously, the requirement for the Mandatary to possess the property under Article 103 is waived for these specific rural assets where custody is difficult, provided formal offers exist and publications disclose occupant status and seller liability exclusions.

THEREFORE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF BOLIVIA RESOLVES:

Article 1.- To clarify and interpret the application of Article 89 of the Portfolio Administration and Asset Sale Regulations modified by Board Resolution No. 093/2004 of June 29, 2004 and complemented by Board Resolution 117/2004 of August 10, 2004, under the following terms:

SAYS: Article 89.- Direct sale includes publications and promotion in the main written media of the country.

Purchase proposals in the direct sale modality shall be presented to the Mandatary in sealed envelopes. In the event that the offered price is lower than the book value or the last appraisal, the Mandatary will consult the Recovery and Asset Realization Committee of the Principal, which will rule within a period not exceeding five (5) days. If it does not do so within the stated period, the proposal shall be understood as approved.

Fifteen (15) days after the publication, it will send all proposals, including the formal purchase offer, to the BCB Asset Recovery and Realization Committee, for its consideration and approval, accompanied by a legal, technical, and financial report on the convenience of the sale, provided that the offered value is equal to or greater than the commercial value of the last updated appraisal, but not lower than the quick sale value.

SHOULD SAY: “Article 89.- Direct sale includes publications and promotion in the main written media of the country.

The procedure described in the preceding paragraphs may be modified by the Mandatary in those cases of rural properties awarded in the credit recovery process of the portfolio corresponding to the return of the Irregular Mercantile Deposit (BCB IV) in which there is a formal purchase offer and whose custody and dispossession is difficult and costly. In these cases, the requirement to be in possession of the property, established in Article 103 of this Regulation, shall not be required of the mandatary. To that effect, once the formal purchase proposal is received, the Mandatary will carry out the sale publications in which the existence of occupants in the property and the exclusion of seller liability regarding eviction and clearing of the property regarding this aspect will be noted. The mandatary within the 15 (fifteen) business days following the period for receiving proposals, will send a legal, technical, and financial report on the convenience of the sale, for its consideration and approval to the BCB Asset Recovery and Realization Committee, only if the offered purchase value is lower than the commercial appraisal value but higher than the quick sale value.”

Article 2.- The General Management is in charge of the execution and compliance with this Resolution.
