The Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, stated this Friday that the government should call the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to question bomb agendas eventually approved by the National Congress, if necessary, if negotiations with the Legislature are not successful.
In an interview with National RadioDurigan stated that the electoral spirit cannot take over the country’s economic agenda, arguing that measures with a high fiscal impact under discussion in Congress could have a deleterious effect on interest rates and cause credit restrictions.
The government’s economic team estimated on Thursday that proposals being processed in Congress have an estimated fiscal impact of R$111 billion per year, including measures such as a broad renegotiation of rural debts, raising the Simples Nacional ceiling and increasing salary floors for professional categories.
In the interview, the minister also stated that the government will announce by the end of the month the new stage of the Desenrola program aimed at people with up-to-date accounts, with renegotiations of operations with banks and the Student Financing Fund (Fies).
