Foreign Investment as Imported Goods

Despite foreign investments generally not being subject to prior analysis by Bacen, investments through the import of intangible goods without exchange coverage are subject to prior authorization by DECIC, which is the Department for Combating Illicit Financial and Oversight of Currency Exchange and International Capital. Investments through the import of tangible goods do not require any previous authorization by Bacen.
