Companies with assets equal to or greater than R$ 300 million that have received foreign investments need to be aware!
The period for updating financial information at the Central Bank is coming up. If your company has more than BRL 300 million in assets and has received investments from abroad, you must submit the Quarterly Economic-Financial Declaration by June 30.
What is the Quarterly Economic-Financial Declaration?

What is the deadline for the declaration?

Why is it important to declare?
- Legal obligation: It is a requirement of the Central Bank and failure to comply may result in a fine.
- Transparency: The declaration assures the transparency of the financial transactions.
- Improved economy: The data collected helps to improve the country’s economic planning.
What happens if I don’t declare or declare incorrectly?
