The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, said this Monday, the 20th, that the complaints that are usually made in relation to the government’s fiscal policy occur because the Executive decided to reduce the public deficit by targeting the “top floor”, and not the poorest.
“I want to finish by saying something important. You hear a lot about the fiscal issue, that the government spends a lot, that the government only thinks about taxing bets and bankers. I want to say, president, you will end your term with the best fiscal result since 2015”, said Haddad, participant in the launch of the “Reforma Casa Brasil” program, at Palácio do Planalto, this Monday.
Afterwards, he said that the complaints about the fiscal occur because for the first time a government decided to reduce the Brazilian public deficit by cutting what he called the “business grant”. “Not cutting from those at the bottom, not from those who need housing, not from those who live on minimum wage, not from retirees, no. This time, we saw an important space to cut the so-called tax expenditure, which is the following, is those who live in the penthouse and do not pay condominium fees. These people were called to contribute to reducing the fiscal deficit”, he stated.

Haddad also repeated that Lula’s third term will be marked by the lowest inflation accumulated in four years under the Real Plan, and by the lowest unemployment rate in the IBGE historical series, which began in 2012. Salary income had the biggest increase since the Real Plan, added the minister.
He once again said that the average growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be the highest since 2010, the end of the PT member’s second term.
“Furthermore, president, you have increased salary income in Brazil in a way that has not been seen since the beginning of the Real Plan,” added the minister.
