OBS_VALUE: The Brazilian Central Bank now broadly recognises as of interest of the Brazilian Government the installation, in the country, of new branches of financial institutions domiciled abroad and the increase in the percentage of participation, in the capital of financial institutions based in the country, of individuals or legal entities resident or domiciled abroad. The same criteria for national institutions now apply to foreign ones.
