The federal government issued Provisional Measure 1,158, published in an extra edition of the Official Diary of the Union, circulating on Thursday (12) which confirms the administrative link between the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf) and the Ministry of Finance. The return of Coaf to the Farm had already been announced in early January, when the Pasta was restructured during the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
On Thursday, during the announcement of the first economic measures of the new management, the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, informed about the signing of the MP with the transfer of Coaf to his Ministry.
The body that works to prevent and combat money laundering was transferred at the beginning of the Bolsonaro government from the then Ministry of Economy to the Ministry of Justice. He even returned to the Economy and then went to the Central Bank. The text of the MP says that “the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Brazil will establish measures for the progressive transfer of processes and administrative contracts related to the functioning of Coaf”.
CMN
The MP now edited by the government also deals with the new composition of the National Monetary Council (CMN), which once again has as its members the ministers of Finance, who will chair it, of Planning and Budget and the president of the Central Bank.
In the previous management, as the Planning Department was extinguished and integrated into the Economy, the CMN was composed only by the Minister of Economy, the president of the Central Bank and the special secretary of Finance of the Ministry of Economy.
