President Lula da Silva of Brazil held extensive three-day meetings with multiple ministers, addressing long-standing concerns over fiscal imbalances and unsustainable deficits. Following these discussions, Lula directed a cut of R$25.9 billion in mandatory expenses, demonstrating a firm commitment to the new federal fiscal framework.
Finance Minister Fernando Haddad elaborated on the framework’s objectives, which include achieving balanced public accounts, replacing the spending cap, and aligning with the Fiscal Responsibility Law. These actions aimed to restore confidence in Brazil’s economic management.
As a result, the Brazilian real strengthened, surpassing 5.5 per USD and recovering from its July 2nd low of 5.67 – its weakest point in over two and a half years. A weakening US dollar further supported this recovery, as recent data bolstered expectations for looser monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.
