The National Monetary Council (CMN) approved on Thursday (24) changes to the rules of the Eco Invest Brasil Line, with the aim of strengthening the structuring of sustainable projects and expanding investments in the ecological transition, according to a note from "Agência Brasil". The measure modifies the resolution that regulates the program and allows the Ministry of Finance to require counterparties from financial institutions interested in accessing the line's resources. Under the new rules, accredited banks may be required to invest their own resources in training, research, technological development and project structuring actions. These initiatives do not involve the use of public resources nor increase costs to the National Treasury. According to the government, the change seeks to address one of the main obstacles to green investments in the country: the low technical and financial maturity of projects considered eligible. The expectation is that the measure will increase the quality of the project portfolio and stimulate the participation of private capital. The initiative also targets strategic sectors, such as the bioeconomy, which requires greater support in the initial development phase, especially in economic-financial modeling and productive organization. The Eco Invest Brasil program is coordinated by the Ministry of Finance in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and is part of the government's strategy to finance actions to mitigate emissions and adapt to climate change. The initiative, which mobilizes private capital for sustainable projects, ended 2025 with R$ 75 billion in capital raised, of which R$ 14 billion resulted in loans granted. Chaired by the Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, the National Monetary Council (CMN) also includes the President of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo, and the Minister of Planning, Simone Tebet.
