The board of Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social [BNDES] approved a financing in the amount of R$ 2 million to Atibaia's City Hall (State of São Paulo), in the ambit of
Program for the Modernization of the Tax Administration and Management of the Basic Social Sectors

PMAT - Created by BNDES in 1997, this program aims at increasing municipalities' tax efficiency level, taking into consideration the high unexploited potential for own tax revenue generation, from the already existing tax revenue basis, by improving the tax collection system.
Initially focused only to tax management modernization, today PMAT also comprises the management of basic social sectors, therefore cooperating to add efficiency to public expenditures. Financing may benefit, among other items, IT and tax audit support equipment, personnel training recycling programs and improvement to citizen assistance programs.
PMAT's financing portfolio concentrates today 395 operations, totaling R$ 647 million. From this total, 186 operations have been performed through Banco do Brasil - BNDES's agent for the Program - reaching R$ 145 million.
