The president has made it clear since he took over the bank that the institution's priority is being realigned, aiming to end the era of national champions. "All those who have access to credit have less to do in BNDES," Castro said in an interview with El Pais in June this year.

With a doctorate from the University of Chicago and former student of Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences 1976, Rabello has sought to deploy a new format in the bank's network of banks of BNDES, approaching the financial institutions of the public sector To ensure greater and better credit for investors who are secundarised in the market.
