Provisional measure expands the Sovereign Brazil Plan to contain the effects of rising import tariffs
A provisional measure, published on Wednesday (April 29, 2026), allocates (Export Guarantee Fund). The initiative reinforces the Sovereign Brazil Plan, launched in 2025 to contain the effects of high import tariffs imposed by the United States.
Published in the Official Gazette of the Union, the aim is to increase the responsiveness of export credit in times of instability in global trade.
The provisional measure allows the granting of working capital and protection instruments against commercial, political and extraordinary risks, with special attention to micro, small and medium-sized companies. The credit will be financed through the FGE’s own financial surplus, of approximately R$29.7 billion, calculated in 2025.
According to the government, the opening of credit meets the constitutional requirements of urgency, relevance and unpredictability, as it allows the State to respond quickly to an uncertain international economic scenario beyond its control.
The Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate have until June 26th to consider the provisional measure. From June 13th, the MP enters into an emergency regime.
