Official Bulletin of Banco de Portugal

The Official Bulletin of Banco de Portugal is available online from January 2012. This monthly publication contains the regulatory ordinances (‘Instructions’) produced by Banco de Portugal in its role as regulator.

The bulletin also gathers together Banco de Portugal’s Notices as published in the Official Gazette (Diário da República), Circular Letters and other relevant information (press releases from Banco de Portugal and the European Central Bank, lists of credit institutions and financial companies registered with Banco de Portugal, Portuguese and EU legislation references and summaries).

The Official Bulletin of Banco de Portugal is issued on the 15th of every month or the next working day at www.bportugal.pt.

As well as the Official Bulletin, Banco de Portugal issues a Manual of Instructions, which outlines all the Instructions currently in force. This can be found here (in Portuguese only): Supervision > Legislation and regulations > Legislation and regulation search tool.
