Overview

• The National Monetary Council approved a resolution permitting participation societária (equity) operations within Eco Invest Brasil, including the use of investment funds.
• The decision completes financial regulation for all program sublines and formalizes liquidity and foreign-exchange hedge mechanisms in line with existing blended-finance and project-structuring rules.
• The new framework sets deadlines to prove equity contributions and caps remuneration at up to 4% a year for financial institutions and 1% a year for the Eco Invest line in equity-focused auctions.
• The rules take effect upon publication in the Diário Oficial da União, with stronger accountability for breaches by participating financial institutions.
• Coordinated by the Finance and Environment ministries, the program seeks to mobilize private capital for the green transition, following an August auction that drew R$17.3 billion in demand and could unlock R$31.4 billion for land restoration.
