BC unions say monitoring of Pix will be maintained during strike

The unions representing the Central Bank’s servers said that monitoring of Pix will be maintained during the strike of the category.

Likewise, the trading desks and the disclosure of Ptax, the daily exchange rate, must be preserved.

Publications such as the Focus Bulletin, the exchange flow and credit, external and fiscal sector statistics, on the other hand, must have erratic disclosure.

Unsuccessful in negotiations with the BC board and the government in defense of career restructuring and salary recomposition of 26.3%, the category announced an indefinite strike starting this Friday (1st).

According to the president of the National Association of Central Bank Analysts (ANBCB), Henrique Seganfredo, the construction of the list of essential services is being positive between the BC and the servers.

Today, there must be more meetings to close the final agreement, which must also include a minimum percentage of servers that must remain active.

“Several essential activities will be maintained, our idea is in no way to harm society,” said Seganfredo.

“Obviously, essential activities are not projects and news,” he said, citing a letter from Pix’s interdepartmental team that indicated that launches, such as automatic debit, should be delayed.

Seganfredo stated that the maintenance of monitoring of the Pix was agreed with the administration of the body, which was also confirmed by the president of the National Union of BC Employees (Sinal), Fábio Faiad.

But Seganfredo considered that technological support could be impacted, especially outside business hours, as the on-call regime is “well affected” by the movement.

“The on-call regime that supports Pix’s technological infrastructure is an area that has never been properly regulated by the BC and, with zero remuneration to servers for years, it was a very sensitive issue to resolve.”

The president of ANBCB also stated that the disclosure of the daily Ptax rate must be maintained, as well as the functioning of the Reserve Transfer System (STR) and SWIFT. BC trading desks must operate with minimal staff coverage.

The Monetary Policy Committee (Copom), Financial Stability Committee (Comef) and the Technical Committee on Currency and Credit (Comoc), as well as the Quarterly Inflation Report (RTI), will still be respected as essential.

Publications such as the Focus Bulletin, the exchange rate and external sector, credit and tax statistics are not included in the list of essential services, according to Seganfredo.

“Not even the BC administration put it as something to be negotiated. The newsletters should have some publicity, but erratic, precisely to not be predictable.”

BC disclosures have already faced delays for two weeks due to the 4-hour daily outages that servers had been doing since March 17.
