Through Resolution No. 2, Minute No. 16, dated April 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) amended various provisions of the General Securities Market Regulations (the "Regulation").

First, Chapter 2 of Title 26 "Depositors" of the Regulation, along with its Annexes A and B, was derogated. Article 9 of Chapter 12, Title 13 "Brokerage Houses" was also derogated.

Amendments were made to the definitions set forth in Article 1 of Title 26. The redefined terms include: (i) Depositors; (ii) Institution in charge of book-entry registration; (iii) Principal; (iv) Book-entry; and (v) Titles. The new definitions adopt more concise language and eliminate specific references to authorizations granted by the National Securities Commission.

Furthermore, Article 3 of Chapter 4, Title 3 “Brokerage Firms” was updated to define the securities admissible for over-the-counter transactions involving brokerage firms, both domestically and abroad. Among the most significant changes is the exclusion of Negotiable Custody Certificates (CCNs) from the list of securities admissible locally, while internationally, the previously established eligibility criteria were maintained.
