Summary
The article reports on new projections from Brazil's Independent Fiscal Institution (IFI) indicating that public debt will continue to rise regardless of the scenario, even under optimistic assumptions for GDP and interest rates. The most likely scenario shows federal revenues declining from 18.9% of GDP in 2026 to 18.3% in the medium term, while non-financial expenditures rise from 19.2% of GDP this year to 19.9% by 2032. The piece warns that the next government, to be elected in October, will face difficult fiscal decisions with no reversal of the debt trajectory in sight.
