Banco de Portugal Instruction System (SIBAP)

SIBAP - Sistema de Instruções do Banco de Portugal (Banco de Portugal Instruction System) - is a permanently updated database, which contains the regulatory instruments issued by the Banco de Portugal (only available in Portuguese).

The data contained in this database is compiled from Boletim de Normas e Informações do Banco de Portugal, whose consultation is still advisable.

This database enables the research of legal ordinances prepared by the Banco de Portugal in the exercise of its regulatory powers, namely Notices (Avisos), published in the Official Gazette, Regulatory instruments (Instruções), published in Boletim de Normas e Informações do Banco de Portugal (BNBP), Manual of Instructions (set of Regulatory instruments in force) and Circular Letters (non-regulatory guidelines disclosed through BNBP).

The research is made through the filling in of a set of keys, such as: numbering, date of publication, subject, descriptor, type of addressee, etc.
