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.
