BC of Paraguay has already reimbursed 93% of Ueno bank customers

The Central Bank of Paraguay reported that more than 1.7 million Banco Ueno account holders were reimbursed.

Until this Monday (9), 1,738,804 people, corresponding to 93% of customers, received the amounts, which total 2.126 trillion guaranis (equivalent to approximately R$ 1.92 billion).

According to the bank, in the coming days, payments will be made to customers who have some type of block, with a Term Deposit Certificate and with operations with the Development Financial Agency (AFD).

According to the law, the deadline for payment is this Wednesday (11).

Economist Jorge Schreiner was appointed yesterday to assume the presidency of the Central Bank after the crisis triggered by the intervention in the digital bank Ueno. Schreiner was on the board of directors of the Central Bank for two years, until 1999, and led the securities commission until 2013. He replaces Carlos Carvallo, who left the institution in the face of the crisis in the banking system.

Carvallo and the former president of Paraguay Santiago Peña, who was removed after Congress approved his impeachment, are in prison and are accused of involvement in the crisis that led to intervention in the country's largest digital bank. Thousands of customers were left with blocked accounts and without access to their money.
