The awards ceremony will not be held this year due to the pandemic.
„I would like to say that this note A is for the Central Bank’s servers, who make very valuable deliveries to Brazilian society. I have learned a lot from everyone and am increasingly impressed with the standard of excellence of the Central Bank.
