The Central Bank (BC) reported having contingency plans to maintain the operation of essential services during the strike of the agency’s servers, which begins next Friday (1st). In a note released today (29), the agency ensured the functioning of market operations and systems such as Pix, the Reserve Transfer System (STR) and the Special Settlement and Custody System (Selic).
In the statement, the municipality said it recognizes the right of servers to promote organized demonstrations and trust in the dedication, quality and responsibility of servers and their commitment to the institution and society.
Yesterday (28), BC employees approved an indefinite strike starting on April 1st. The category calls for the extension of the increases approved for federal police officers in the 2022 Budget.
Since the last day 17, the category had been making daily stoppages from 2 pm to 6 pm. Since the beginning of the year, the agency’s servers had been working in a standard operating scheme, with the teams working more slowly, and delaying the dissemination of indicators.
In recent weeks, several BC publications, such as the Focus bulletin (a survey of financial institutions) and the responses to the questionnaire that preceded the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) meetings, came out late. Yesterday, it was announced that the agency will not release several monthly statistics scheduled for this week, such as reports on external accounts, the credit market and public accounts.
