The TR Forex has been in business for more than four years, why is it still thereBrazilian government is actively engaging in high-level discussions to reach crucial spending control measures in response to increasing domestic fiscal pressures. According to a statement from the President's office, Chief of Staff Rui Costa held a meeting with ministers from the Social Security and Social Development departments this afternoon to further advance the discussions on fiscal measures. This discussion is an important step in the Brazilian government's efforts to address the issue of mandatory spending exceeding the budget cap.
Finance Minister Fernando Haddad previously mentioned that these proposed measures aim to extend the validity of the fiscal framework signed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last year. The framework established a basic budget balance target and stipulated that spending growth should not exceed the annual inflation rate plus 2.5%. However, the growth rate of mandatory spending, especially on pensions and social welfare programs, has far exceeded other areas, gradually putting pressure on the budget cap and making it challenging for the government to control administrative expenses. Economists have expressed concerns about the sustainability of the fiscal framework, believing that spending pressure may accelerate in the coming years, affecting Brazil's ability to control public debt growth.
Haddad submitted specific spending control proposals to President Lula and other cabinet members on Monday, and plans to announce them later this week after receiving presidential approval. Informed sources reveal that the involvement of several ministers demonstrates the government's determination to comprehensively address fiscal issues, and the related measures are expected to be made public soon.
The announcement had a positive impact on the Brazilian real, which strengthened against the dollar on Monday, and long-term interest rates also declined. This change relieved the pressure that the Brazilian real has faced in recent months, which had been under significant strain due to domestic fiscal issues and global economic turbulence, further exacerbated by the uncertainty of the U.S. elections, heightening market tension.
