The BCB is an administrative council integrated within the structure of the Ministry of Planning and Budget without separate legal personality.

The Governor and eight Directors are appointed by the President of the Republic following approval by the Federal Senate for fixed four-year mandates, with the Governor taking office on the third year of the President's term to ensure non-coincidence with the presidential cycle. The Governor and Directors serve indefinite terms subject to discretionary removal (exoneração ad nutum) by the President of the Republic at any time during the fiscal year. The Governor is appointed directly by the National Monetary Council (CMN) without the participation or confirmation of the Federal Senate. Directors have fixed two-year terms that strictly coincide with the first two years of the presidential mandate, requiring unanimous consent of the Chamber of Deputies for re-appointment.

The Central Bank may directly purchase newly issued federal public securities from the National Treasury up to a maximum limit of 5% of annual net current revenue. The Central Bank is permitted to extend temporary emergency liquidity credit lines to state-owned development banks whenever requested by the Minister of Planning.
