The Mixed Budget Committee of the National Congress approved on Wednesday (3) the proposal for the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) of 2026 with a deadline for implementing 65% of the parliamentary amendments, and the text will now go to vote in a joint session of the National Congress, according to Agência Câmara de Notícias.
The LDO rapporteur, deputy Gervásio Maia (PSB-PB), set a deadline of the end of the first half of next year for the Executive Branch to pay 65% of the total parliamentary amendments to the Mandatory Budget.
‘It is a very important and balanced advance. Because talking about 65%, we are talking about paying part of the amendments by the month of July. This will guarantee very important planning for managers’, said Maia according to Agência Câmara.

The rule applies to individual and collective amendments intended for health and social assistance funds and for so-called special transfers, called ‘Pix amendments’.
The LDO proposal foresees a surplus of R$34.3 billion in 2026, equivalent to 0.25% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, according to the approved text, the government will be able to consider the lower limit of the target to make spending limitations. The target can vary 0.25% up or down.
