2025-05-22 | Resolução CMN 5215Added
Resolution CMN No. 5,215 amends the regulations for Real Estate Credit Letters (LCI) and Agribusiness Credit Letters (LCA) by introducing new provisions that prohibit these instruments from being backed by impaired credits and require their nominal updated value not to exceed the gross book value of the underlying credits. The resolution also establishes that buybacks by affiliated institutions are prohibited except for intermediation operations, and mandates that renewal terms for these instruments must meet minimum duration requirements. These changes take effect on the date of publication for specific minimum duration clauses, while the remaining provisions, including the new backing and impairment restrictions, become effective on August 1, 2025.
