The Plenary of the Senate approved the replacement of Senator Telmário Mota (Pros-RR) to the Complementary Bill (PLP) 19/2019, which establishes stable mandates and requirements for the appointment and removal of the president and directors of the central bank, as well as prohibitions against occupants of positions. There were 56 votes in favor and 12 against.
“For almost 30 years, this House has been trying to vote on this issue, to the point that it has now become, as I understand it, extremely mature. It is in the duty of being able to ensure price stability that the Central Bank finds its institutional mission par excellence. But the Central Bank must act not only in search of stability and efficiency in the financial system and to smooth fluctuations in the level of economic activity, but also, to the extent of its possibilities, to promote full employment, “said Telmário.
Written by Senator Plínio Valério (PSDB-AM), the text grants formal autonomy to the BC, so that it can carry out its essential activities for the country without suffering from partisan pressure. The bill is now being analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies and may return to the Senate if the deputies make changes to the text.
According to the rapporteur, “this is an important issue, especially in electoral years and when there are governments with populist prejudices in power, whether from the right or the left. The simple legal provision that there is formal autonomy, with the coincidence of mandates with the President of the Republic, avoids even misinterpretations that the Central Bank of Brazil has not managed to increase the basic interest rate to contain inflation because of political pressure or partisan “.
Furthermore, he says that, for at least a century, the central function of any central bank has been to ensure monetary stability. The confidence of economic agents and, above all, of the population that the sovereign currency will maintain its purchasing power over time is essential for the economic and social development of the country.
“In this sense, it is not only desirable, but it is necessary to reaffirm that the fight against inflation through the search for price stability is an essential part of the CB’s legal mandate.”
Substitute
Among the amendments to the approved substitute, is the determination that the National Monetary Council (CMN) establish the monetary policy goals, leaving the Central Bank to meet these goals. “In addition to being accountable to parliament, this is a way to subject an autonomous central bank to the dictates of an elected government,” Telmário said.
It is also said that the BC will become a “special autarky”, without subordinating itself to any ministry. “As a result of this change, it is expected that relative technical, operational, administrative and financial autonomy will be granted to the Autarchy,” argues Mota.
New contest
Autonomy can be positive for opening a new public tender, since the institution would no longer need the endorsement of the Ministry of the Economy to publish advertisements and make up for the deficit of officials. Until July, the BC had a deficit of 2,888 servers, according to data from the institution’s portal.

“The Central Bank sent a new request equivalent to last year (200 vacancies for analysts, 30 for technicians and 30 for lawyers), but the probability of service remains low considering the fiscal scenario. The BC will continue to keep the Ministry of the Economy constantly updated on the minimum need to replace its servers ”, states in a note sent to the Folha Directed website.
However, the Central Bank’s Personnel Management Department ensured that the institution is committed to staff replacement.
In response to the latest request, the Ministry of the Economy pointed out “the unavailability of authorization for new public tenders given the current fiscal situation in the country.” Even so, the Department of Personnel Management of the CB affirms that the institution is committed to the minimum recomposition of personnel.
