Why it matters

BNDES decisions on credit lines, guarantees, equity stakes and subsidiaries move the cost of capital for infrastructure and exporters and the fiscal risk of the Union, which capitalises it.

Law 15,501 lets BNDES create subsidiaries as Lula vetoes the Export Credit Fund

Law 15,501, dated September 9 and announced September 10, allows BNDES to create subsidiaries to widen its operations, subject to the Fiscal Responsibility Law; the president vetoed ten of the bill's thirteen provisions, including the creation of the Export Credit Fund, which the bank would run, and changes to risk-sharing rules among guarantee funds, arguing the fund's goals are already met by existing policies and its creation breaches the 2026 budget guidelines law. The text came from bill 5,961/2025 by then-senator Fernando Farias.
