Brazilian government reduced 2026 commercial surplus forecast from US$90 billion to US$84.4 billion due to declining oil prices, with the MDIC projecting a record high for the country's history. September 2025 saw a record US$7.74 billion surplus, driven by high oil exports reaching US$6.49 billion. The new forecast assumes a surplus of US$22 billion between October and December to reach the target. Key uncertainty remains whether the revised export/import figures will hold as oil prices fluctuate further.

Key points

• The MDIC revised Brazil's 2026 commercial surplus forecast from US$90 billion to US$84.4 billion primarily due to declining oil prices, which reduced export revenue by US$11.9 billion.
• September 2025 recorded a record US$7.74 billion surplus, the highest monthly result since June 2025, driven by US$6.49 billion in oil exports.

Context and limitations

The forecast assumes oil prices remain stable at current levels; actual performance depends on future price fluctuations and external trade conditions.
