Brazil achieved a record commercial surplus of US$ 7.74 billion in September 2026, surpassing the previous record of US$ 9.18 billion in September 2023. This achievement was driven by a 12.9% surge in exports, primarily from the extractive and agro-industries, while imports declined by 2.4%. The current account reached US$ 61.09 billion, the highest monthly total recorded in the series, though forecasts for the full year 2026 have been revised downward to a surplus of US$ 84.4 billion.
