BRAZIL

Banco Central do Brasil has allowed financial institutions to capture Time Deposits1 with Special Guarantee (DPGE)
from institutions associated with the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC). Funding will be guaranteed by the FGC up to a
maximum amount of R $ 400 million of the total credits of each holding institution against the institution or
conglomerate issuing DPGE.

Banco Central do Brasil has amended the prudential requirements2 applicable to financial institutions under the
Emergency Employment Support Program in which the portion paid by the Union in credit operations contracted
under the Emergency Employment Support Program (PESE) will not be counted as an exposure of the participating
financial institution, for the purposes of calculating the capital requirement through a standardized approach
(RWACPAD) and Leverage Ratio (RA).

UNITED STATES (FEDERAL)

President Trump signed the $484 billion aid package passed by Congress last week. This coronavirus federal relief
package provides $310 billion in funding to replenish the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection
Program, which ran out of funding a few weeks after the program was initially created through the CARES Act.
Additionally, the measure includes $75 billion for hospitals, $25 billion for COVID-19 testing and $60 billion for
emergency disaster loans and grants. Congress has spent an estimated $2.8 trillion in response to the COVID-19
fallouts.

Senate Majority Leader has asked lawmakers to wait before moving forward with a fifth3 COVID-19 relief bill.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is planning to push for a provision, called the “No PR Act4” in the next COVID-
19 package. This provision would prevent the use of federal dollars toward any materials that promote the
signatures or names of President Trump or Vice President Pence.

2020/04/21 The effects of COVID-19 on financial crime and compliance (2 Bedford Row Chambers)12

The true extent of the effects of COVID-19 on the world and the global economy may not be known for many years
but it is well-known from past crises that each disaster brings a new opportunity for financial criminals to exploit.
Whether linked directly or indirectly, it is easy to see how the current pandemic could give rise to new types of
offending and also that it will produce fresh considerations for regulated persons and corporate entities who are
striving to remain legally compliant in unprecedented times.

2020/04/21 Applying to Bring Forward and Dismiss a Winding-Up Petition (Enterprise Chambers)13

The coronavirus pandemic has severely disrupted the UK’s commercial ecosystem, and will inevitably push many
businesses into insolvency. Both during and after the lockdown, the intense pressures the virus has placed on
companies will cause cash flow difficulties that cannot easily be resolved. Some creditors may resist enforcing debts
that have fallen due, but others will not: on 14 April the BBC reported that some commercial landlords prevented
from forfeiting leases by section 82 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 are turning instead to winding-up petitions.

2020/04/21 COVID-19, Force Majeure and Frustration: Key legal principles and industry implications (Fountain
Court Chambers)14

Around the world right now, companies – especially their in-house counsel – are pulling up from dusty databases
the force majeure clauses of contracts. Often boilerplate, they have been rarely considered, because it is rare for
an “act of God” or one of the other standard listed events to come up. In this article, we set out the core legal
principles as regards force majeure and frustration, consider their relevance in the context of COVID-19, and identify
consequent issues for some of the major industries affected by the pandemic.

2020/04/23 New measures to protect commercial tenants from debt recovery actions15

On 23 April, the government announced that it is to temporarily ban the use of statutory demands (made between
1 March 2020 and 30 June 2020) and winding up petitions (presented from 27 April, through to 30 June), where a
commercial tenant cannot pay its rent due to coronavirus/ COVID-19. The measures are on top of those contained
in the Coronavirus Act 2020 and will be included in the proposed legislation announced earlier, which will be named
the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Bill. The government is also laying secondary legislation to provide
tenants with more breathing space to pay rent by preventing landlords using Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery
(CRAR) unless they are owed 90 days of unpaid rent.

2020/04/27 India central bank announces special liquidity window for mutual funds 18

India’s central bank is opening a special liquidity facility of up to 500 billion rupees ($6.6 billion) to help mutual
funds tide over a severe liquidity strain imposed by the coronavirus pandemic and redemption pressures, it said on
Monday. Fund houses in India have struggled to allay investors’ fears of a flood of redemption requests after the
prominent Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund said on Thursday it would wind up six credit funds for lack of liquidity.
Banks will need to access the funds from the RBI at the repo window and extend loans to mutual funds, buy outright
corporate bonds or commercial papers from them or extend the funds against collateral through a repo.
