The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Budget present this Thursday (22), at 15h, the first report of evaluation of 2025 primary revenues and expenses.
The document is expected to confirm blockages and budget contingencies, in line with what has been signaled by the economic team since last week.
This was supposed to be the second report of the year, but with the delay in approving the budget and sanction of the play only in April, the first publication only became possible now in May.
By the calculations of the consultancy Warren Rena, the government must be freezing in the order of $ 15 billion.
Blocks are temporary suspensions of expenses, which can be reversed throughout the exercise. The contingencies are more lasting cuts, adopted when there is a concrete risk of non -compliance with the fiscal target.
Both instruments serve to adjust budget execution in revenue frustration scenarios.
In addition to the cuts, additional tax measures are also expected. Last week, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said it is not a broad set of actions, but of specific measures.
“The only measures being prepared are punctual for the fulfillment of the fiscal target, as we did last year. We are identifying where the bottlenecks and problems are. You can’t call a package. These are punctual measures aimed exclusively at compliance with the fiscal target,” he said.
Haddad did not want to advance the measures, but pointed out that the government studies actions on both expenses and revenue.
In recent days, the head of the economic team has met with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) and the other members of the Budget Execution Board (Jeo), to define the strategies that will be adopted.
The group includes ministers Rui Costa (House Civil), Esther Dweck (Management and Innovation) and Simone Tebet (Planning), as well as Haddad himself.
The presentation of the report will be made by Haddad and Tebet, with the participation of the executive secretaries Dario Durigan and Gustavo Guimarães, as well as the holders of the IRS, National Treasury and Federal Budget.
The meeting will also take place for the first time in the auditorium of the Ministry of Finance. Traditionally, this presentation is made at the Ministry of Planning.
