The FGD has adopted a plan for the prevention of corruption risks and related offences (Plano de Prevenção de Riscos de Corrupção e Infrações Conexas – PPR), in line with the amendments introduced by Decree-Law No 109-E/2021 of 9 December 2021, which approved the General Scheme for the Prevention of Corruption (Regime Geral de Prevenção da Corrupção – RGPC).

The PPR identifies the FGD’s areas of activity which, by their nature, entail corruption risks and related offences, assesses the likelihood of these risks occurring and the potential impact of their materialisation, lays down appropriate preventive and corrective measures and appoints the person with overall responsibility for implementing it.

By adopting and disclosing the PPR, the FGD strengthens its commitment to transparency and rigour in the prevention of management risks, including corruption risks and related offences.

Under the legal framework established by Article 168 of the Legal Framework of Credit Institutions and Financial Companies the Banco de Portugal is responsible for providing the technical and administrative services necessary for the proper functioning of the FGD. Thus, the Compliance Officer of Banco de Portugal is teh person responsible for regulatory compliance and may be contacted at [email protected].
