Briefings

An independent fiscal institution estimated that election campaign measures announced by President Lula could generate a R$40 billion fiscal impact without affecting the current budget. This estimate includes changes to the Bolsa Família program, a reduction in betting-related revenue, and new benefits for microentrepreneurs. The report also highlights a projected primary deficit of 0.5% of GDP for this year and 1% for 2027, with higher interest rates increasing the required surplus. Public consequences remain uncertain as the government may adjust policies through dialogue rather than immediate budget changes.

Key points

• An independent fiscal institution estimated that election campaign measures announced by President Lula could generate a R$40 billion fiscal impact without affecting the current budget.
• The report projects a primary deficit of 0.5% of GDP for this year and 1% for 2027, with higher interest rates increasing the required surplus to stabilize public debt.

Context

The findings come from the Instituto Fiscal Independente (IFI), an advisory body linked to the Senate. The report analyzes election campaign measures including Bolsa Família, betting revenue changes, and microentrepreneur benefits. It notes the government may pursue fiscal dialogue rather than immediate budget adjustments.

Limitations

The estimate excludes the Pê-de-Meia Universitário and weekend transport tax exemptions. It does not account for other campaign proposals. Interest rate projections vary by 0.8 percentage points. Some public credit operations are excluded from the primary deficit calculation despite affecting debt trajectories.
