On December 19, 2024, the National Monetary Council (CMN) introduced significant changes with the approval of CMN Resolution No. 5,197. This resolution amends the previous Resolution No. 4,676, originally established on July 31, 2018. The primary objective of the new resolution is to modernize the regulatory framework governing the Brazilian Savings and Loan System (SBPE), the Housing Finance System (SFH), and the Real Estate Financing System (SFI).
The updated regulations provide clearer guidelines on the use of real estate as collateral in multiple credit transactions. This move is expected to enhance the security of financial operations involving real estate, ensuring that properties can be utilized effectively without compromising the interests of lenders and borrowers alike.
Industry experts believe that these changes will foster a more robust lending environment, encouraging investment in the real estate sector while safeguarding the rights of all parties involved. The CMN aims to create a balanced approach that supports economic growth and stability in the housing market.
