
Short term export trade finance
– Central Bank is investing a small part of its international reserves in credit lines to
local banks (onlending to exports)
– BNDES announced a credit line of R$ 5 billions to trade finance
Reserve requirements over local banking deposits
– Decreased
– Loan portfolios and interbank deposits bought from smaller banks can be used
instead of local Treasuries
Short term / Long-term finance provided by public banks
– New BNDES lines for working capital (R$ 6 billions)
– Agribusiness: Treasury announced renegotiation (BB is the main agent) and
increased the amount directed to agriculture.
– Housing and construction: additional support mainly from Caixa
