Key Facts
—The vote The Chamber of Deputies is scheduled to take up the reform of the central bank’s charter on Wednesday 26 August — if the governing bloc can assemble a quorum, which as of 20 August it had not.
—How it got there A majority committee report was signed on 12 August by the finance and budget committees, with 42 signatures from La Libertad Avanza and allied blocs. The opposition walked out.
—The single mandate The committee text is reported as reducing the bank to one objective — preserving the value of the currency, or in another rendering price stability — displacing the multiple mandates in the current charter.
