After FGC losses, rules for platform gains should change

oglobo9 September 2026 at 08:00

The Central Bank is studying new rules that may change the remuneration criteria for investment platforms in the offering of assets protected by the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC). The objective of these changes is to create greater alignment between the remuneration of these platforms and the gains effectively obtained by clients.

The measure is part of a broader reform being carried out to try to curb business models that are excessively based on fundraising through assets guaranteed by the FGC.

The Central Bank specifically seeks to combat practices like those of Banco Master, an institution that was liquidated in November 2025. The bank's business model was heavily based on fundraising via assets protected by the FGC.

This practice by Banco Master generated losses of approximately R$ 50 billion to the Credit Guarantee Fund, highlighting the risks that previous rules allowed.

War between Rede Expressos and FlixBus affects Lisbon connections

The legal conflict between Rede Expressos and FlixBus over access to the Sete Rios terminal in Lisbon has intensified, with the German carrier accusing the Portuguese rival of blocking compliance with a court ruling from March 2026 that ordered its access to the station. Rede Expressos denies the accusations, classifying them as "false and defamatory," and maintains that the terminal has reached its physical capacity, making it impossible to allocate the 96 daily schedules sought by FlixBus. Faced with the impasse, the German company has moved forward with an enforcement action of the ruling and a criminal complaint against those responsible for managing the facility, while users await a resolution that balances commercial competition with the safe operation of a key node of mobility in Lisbon.

SAD do Benfica achieves profit of…

Benfica's SAD achieved a net profit of 19.1 million euros in the 2025/26 financial year, the second consecutive year with positive results, although below the 34.4 million from the previous year. The growth in recurring revenue, the control of operational expenses, and the favorable evolution of player rights explain the performance. Equity capital strengthened to 135.5 million euros, while the operating result stood at 32.4 million. Excluding the player rights component, operating revenue reached 214.4 million euros, a 7% decline justified by the absence of extraordinary Club World Cup revenue.
