The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) is a federal public company, linked to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC). Its goal is to provide long-term financing aimed at enhancing Brazil’s development, and, therefore, improving the competitiveness of the Brazilian economy and the standard of living of the Brazilian population.
Since its establishment, on June 20th, 1952, the BNDES has financed large-scale industrial and infrastructure operations, besides playing a significant role in the support of investments in agriculture, trade and the service industry. The Bank also supports small and medium-sized private businesses, as well as
social investments in education and health, family farming (agriculture), public transport, and basic sanitation. In addition, a special interest is taken to foster cultural progress in Brazil through the sponsorship of projects in areas, such as architectural heritage, film and music, and collections, besides offering support to cultural enterprises through innovative financial instruments.
The BNDES Credit Lines comprise long-term financing, at competitive interest rates, for the development of investment projects, the commercialization of machinery and equipment, and the growth of Brazilian
exports.
Credit lines and programs provided by the BNDES serve the investment needs of companies of any size and sector set up in Brazil. Partnerships with
financial institutions that hold agencies in the country facilitate the distribution of credit, enabling greater access to BNDES' resources.
The BNDES also seeks to strengthen the capital structure of private companies and the development of Brazilian capital markets by underwriting equities and debt securities of Brazilian companies.
Taking into account both ethical and environmental principles, the BNDES is firmly committed to achieving sustainable development.
