PROGRAM CIRCULAR
PART A



Banco do Brasil S.A.
(incorporated in The Federative Republic of Brazil with limited liability)
U.S.$5,000,000,000
Global Medium-Term Note Program
for the issue of Notes due from 30 days to
30 years from the date of issue

Under the global medium-term note program (the "Program") Banco do Brasil S.A. ("Banco do Brasil" or the "Bank") (whether acting through its head
office or through a specified branch outside Brazil) or the Bank acting jointly and severally with any one of its designated subsidiaries named herein or a subsequently
appointed designated subsidiary (each a "Designated Subsidiary") (the "Issuer") may from time to time issue global medium-term notes (the "Notes") denominated in
such currencies as may be agreed with the Dealers (as defined below). The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers. The Notes will
have maturities from 30 days to 30 years from the date of issue (except as set out herein). The Notes will bear interest on a fixed or floating rate basis, or be issued on
a fully discounted basis and not bear interest. Subject as set out herein, the maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes issued under the Program will not
exceed U.S.$5,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at the time of agreement to issue, subject as further set out herein). Notes will be issued in one or
more series (each a "Series") having one or more issue dates and the same maturity date, bearing interest on the same basis and at the same rate, and on terms
otherwise identical (except in relation to interest commencement dates and matters related thereto). Each Series shall be all in bearer form or all in registered form
and may be issued in one or more tranches (each a "Tranche") on different issue dates. Details applicable to each Tranche and Series will be specified in a supplement
to this document (a "Pricing Supplement"). The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to or through J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
(formally known as J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.), BB Securities Limited, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Citicorp Securities, Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston LLC,
Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited, ING Bank N.V., Curaçao branch, Merrill Lynch International, Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated and
other dealers appointed in respect of a particular Tranche (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers").
Prospective investors should have regard to the considerations described under "Risk Factors" included in Part B of this Program Circular.
Application may be made to admit certain Series of Notes to be issued under the Program to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF"), which is not a regulated market (as defined in Article I(13)
of Directive 93/22/EEC), or any other stock exchange. Certain Series of Notes may be issued under the Program that will not be listed on the Euro MTF Market or
any other stock exchange. The Pricing Supplement applicable to a Series will specify whether or not Notes of such Series have been admitted to listing on the Official
List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF Market. In case the Notes are not admitted to listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and to trading on the Euro MTF Market, the Bank is not obliged to list the Notes on any other stock exchange.
This Program Circular constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of listing Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trading on the Euro MTF
Market for the purposes of the Luxembourg Act dated July 10, 2005, as amended, on prospectuses for securities, and is valid for the period of twelve months from its
date of publication. It should be read and construed together with any Pricing Supplement, which constitutes the final terms for the purpose of the Luxembourg Act,
dated July 10, 2005, as amended, on prospectuses for securities, and supplemental information memorandum and with any documents incorporated by reference
herein.
Notes of each Tranche of each Series to be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes" comprising a "Bearer Series") will initially be represented by interests
in a temporary global Note or by a permanent global Note, in either case in bearer form (a "Temporary Global Note" and a "Global Note", respectively), without
interest coupons, which will be deposited with a common depositary on behalf of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and Euroclear
Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") on the relevant issue date. As indicated in the relevant Pricing Supplement, interests in a
Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interests in a Global Note on or after the date 40 days after the later of the commencement of the
offering and the issue date (the "Exchange Date"), upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. Definitive Bearer Notes will only be available in certain
limited circumstances as described herein. Notes of each Tranche of each Series to be issued in registered form ("Registered Notes" comprising a "Registered Series")
and which are sold in "offshore transactions" in reliance on Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") will initially be
represented by interests in one or more definitive global unrestricted Registered Notes (each a "DTC Unrestricted Global Note"), without interest coupons, which will
be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Until the expiration of 40 days after the later
of the commencement of the offering of a Tranche of a Registered Series and the issue date thereof, beneficial interests in a DTC Unrestricted Global Note may be
held only through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. Notes in each Tranche of each Registered Series sold within the United States to a "qualified institutional
buyer" in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), as referred to in, and subject to the transfer restrictions described in, "Subscription and Sale
and Transfer Restrictions", will initially be represented by a definitive global restricted Registered Note (each a "DTC Restricted Global Note" and, together with any
DTC Unrestricted Global Notes, the "DTC Global Notes"), without interest coupons, which will be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a
nominee of, DTC on its issue date. Beneficial interests in a DTC Unrestricted Global Note and a DTC Restricted Global Note will be shown on, and transfers thereof
will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants, including depositaries for Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear. Notes in each
Tranche of a Registered Series sold within the United States to an institutional "accredited investor" in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act ("Regulation
D"), as referred to in, and subject to the transfer restrictions described in, "Subscription and Sale and Transfer Restrictions", will initially be represented by individual
definitive restricted Registered Notes, without interest coupons, which will be delivered to or to the order of, and registered in the name of, such institutional
accredited investors or a nominee thereof. See "Clearing and Settlement."
