Instrument of the National Fund on Climate Change to reduce the risk of exchange rate variation in fundraising from abroad, the Eco Invest Brasil program will be able to buy investment funds quotas and do securitization operations (paper conversion). At an extraordinary meeting this Thursday (17), the National Monetary Council (CMN) has authorized a series of practices that intend to attract new types of investors in sustainable project financing.
Among the main enhancements introduced by CMN, they stand out:
• Authorization for the acquisition of investment funds quotas, expanding the capture channels and investor base;
• Inclusion of securitization operations, favoring capital mobilization through the financial market;
• grace period of up to three years for credit operations, according to guidelines of the Ministry of Finance;
• Obligation to reinvestment of the returned resources, expanding the scope and impact of public financing;
• Regulation of the project structuring subline, allowing the launch of auctions focused on the technical and financial preparation of innovative projects.
In a statement, the Ministry of Finance reported that the measures align the regulation to the Law 14.995/2024which established the External Private Capital Mobilization Program and Currency Protection (Eco Invest Brazil Program). The CMN also perfected the partial funding subline and regulated the new project structuring line.
According to the farm, the project structuring subline will allow the National Treasury to make auctions focused on the export of green goods and services, infrastructure for export and sustainable tourism. The regulation intends to make the Eco Invest Brasil program acts since the initial stages of enterprises, with credit for studies, modeling and other preparation activities.

Authorization for the purchase of investment funds regulated by the Securities Commission (CVM) expands the diversity of financial instruments available at ECO Invest. According to the Ministry of Finance, this innovation allows greater risk diversification, access to individual investors and capture of funds from catalytic backgrounds, who fund sustainable development projects in the Amazon.
The inclusion of securitization operations, the farm reported, strengthens the role of the capital market in the capture of public resources.

Collegiate body chaired by Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, CMN is also composed by the president of the Central Bank of Brazil, Gabriel Galipolo, and the Minister of Planning and Budget, Simone Tebet.
