Since 2016, the Union has disbursed a total of R $ 75.99 billion to pay off debts from states and municipalities, so far recovering R $ 5.673 billion
In January, the payment of R $ 556.35 million refers to delayed debts of five states and one municipality. The transfers were distributed as follows: Minas Gerais received R $ 218.43 million, Rio Grande do Norte received R $ 106.92 million, while Rio de Janeiro received R $ 79.96 million. Rio Grande do Sul received R $ 76.81 million, Goiás received R $ 74.16 million and the municipality of Santanópolis, Bahia, received R $ 68.09 thousand. Since 2016, the Union has disbursed a total of R $ 75.99 billion to pay debts from states and municipalities, so far recovering R $ 5.673 billion. Failure to comply with financial obligations allow the National Treasury to make compensation, blocking federal transfers and making new financing difficult for debtor entities.
In addition, there are situations in which the execution of the countergarters is blocked, as occurs in Maranhão and in the cities of Taubaté, in São Paulo, and Caucaia, Ceará. These cases total a total of R $ 652.89 million that remain pending. The Treasury also paid R $ 107.76 million that were due to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Bird) by the state of Rio Grande do Norte. On the other hand, states such as Alagoas, Espirito Santo, Maranhão, Pernambuco and Piauí got legal decisions that suspended debt payments guaranteed by the Union. The total amount of these suspended debts reaches R $ 1.90 billion, reflecting the complexity of the financial situation faced by several federation units.
