Caixa
Econômica Federal, also
referred to as Caixa or CEF, is a Brazilian bank. It is the second
largest government-owned financial institution in Latin
America, after Banco do Brasil. It is the fourth largest bank in Brazil by assets and one of the largest in Latin America. Caixa has more than 85 million accounts,
with liabilities worth more than R$ 237.00 billion in savings or investment.
Together with government pension funds and other governmental resources, Caixa
controls more than R$ 1.80 trillion (roughly about US$ 630 billion). Caixa is
seen as a tool for public investment and expansion of access to financial
services to the Brazilian public.
Caixa is still the manager of
most Brazilian lotteries, especially the most popular ones, such as Mega-Sena,
Quina and Loteca (former Loteria Esportiva). The profits of Brazilian state
(federal) lotteries are reverted to amateur sport promotion (including
Wrestling) and elementary education.
