The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) carried out a comprehensive revision of its operational policies. The Bank’s aim is to offer the best conditions concerning rates, terms and level of participation for priority sectors. At the same time, the BNDES is enhancing the use of market indexers in its financing and providing more room for other sources so they can also work with long-term financing.

The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) ended October with a stable volume of disbursements reaching R$ 146.5 billion in the first 10 months of the year. This means that the Bank should end 2014 with disbursements at a level similar to that recorded last year, when the Bank released R$ 190.4 billion.
