🇧🇷 The National Monetary Council (CMN) — the top authority of Brazil’s financial system — has just approved updates to Resolution No. 5,130 (2024), reinforcing the country’s commitment to sustainable development and economic transformation through the Eco Invest Brazil program.
💼 Coordinated by the Ministry of Finance, in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, the program is a cornerstone of Brazil’s ecological transition strategy. It aims to mobilize sustainable investments focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change, while creating a safer and more robust investment environment.
🌱 What’s new?
🔐 With the Investment Guarantee Fund (FGI) backing projects under the program, financial security is strengthened. This enhances international investor confidence, especially in green and sustainable projects across key sectors such as:
- Clean and sustainable technologies
- Bioeconomy
- Circular economy
- Energy transition
- Infrastructure and climate adaptation
📜 About the New Resolution
Resolution No. 5,130/2024 sets rules for credit operations under the “Eco Invest Brazil Line”, which is part of the National Climate Change Fund (FNMC). It enables the Treasury to launch auctions for the development of sustainable projects, particularly those involving:
- Export of green goods and services
- Sustainable infrastructure
- Eco-tourism
It also broadens the use of investment funds to diversify capital sources and attract new investor profiles — both nationally and globally.
🧩 Strategic Enhancements Include:
- ✅ Authorization to acquire shares in investment funds, regulated by Brazil’s Securities Commission (CVM)
- 💸 Securitization of operations, boosting market-driven capital mobilization
- ⏳ Grace periods of up to three years for credit operations
- 🔄 Mandatory reinvestment of returned resources, ensuring long-term impact
- 🛠️ New project structuring subline, enabling auctions for the technical and financial preparation of innovative projects
By strengthening instruments such as blended finance and securitization, Brazil positions itself to scale up green investments and attract catalytic funds globally. The Treasury will now support not only project execution, but also early-stage studies, modeling, and technical groundwork.
📈 The B4 Climate Exchange projects that by 2030, over 300 million tonnes of carbon credits will be listed through its pipeline of impact projects — reinforcing the role of regulated, transparent and scalable platforms in this new investment era.
