watermark Economic news

The Brazilian government increased the budget for federal expenditures by adding 5.003 billion Brazilian real or 1.5 billion U.S. dollar as it continues to recover from a deep recession.

The government revised downward the primary spending by 4.566 billion real since the subsidize money was also decreased. This opens public spending despite the primary revenue forecast was reduced by 891.6 million real.

After the extension of the deadline until the end of 2018, Planning Minister Dyogo Oliveira stopped the farmers from being part or the debt-renegotiation program during a news conference. It gave way to more subsidy this year.

The central government of the country including the federal government, central banks, and the social security system with a smaller primary deficit this year compared to the official target of 159 billion real.

Moreover, he said that there is a high possibility for the government to freeze spending come early 2018 to countermeasures that were not approved by Congress. There is no conclusion yet as the lawmakers have not yet voted on increasing taxes on payroll taxes and some investment funds. President Michel Temer is gaining more popularity in the single digits as the election next year is near and the Congress is not exactly alike with his austere attempts.

Last week, the lawmakers postponed until February the suffrage on a landmark bill reducing its social security spending. This caused uncertainty in the market.

However, there are higher tax revenues because of economic recovery that counterbalances the gap in 2018 revenue as mentioned by Oliviera.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles said that raising taxes did not exactly preclude raising of taxes or reducing its spending as a result.
