1/ Portfolio position. Reals denominated debt (R$440 million), converted into US dollars by using the US dollar selling rate of the position date (BRL/USD - 2.0017).
2/ Accordingly to BPM5/6 Manuals and the Guide to Reserve Assets Template (IMF), short and long positions refer to those corresponding to future outflows and inflows of foreign currency, respectively. This classification is opposite to the one applied by open market operations publications, since the latter are based on domestic currency future flows.
