Brazil’s Central Bank Publishes 2026–27 Integrity Plan With 36 Actions

Overview

• The Central Bank, which published the plan Thursday, set 36 actions for 2026–2027 to strengthen governance, transparency, and ethics across the institution.
• The update responds to pressure from investigations tied to Banco Master, where police arrested owner Daniel Vorcaro and two former central bank officials faced accusations of taking improper payments.
• New procedures require two-step validation and written records so key decisions can be traced from proposal to final approval.
• The bank will assess rotating staff among roles to reduce conflicts of interest and to prevent close ties with supervised firms and vendors.
• The plan expands channels for complaints and sets firmer steps to investigate cases and hold staff accountable, with added training on ethics and anti-harassment.
