A study by FGV Ibre compares Brazil with seven emerging economies and shows that Brazilian real interest rates were around three percentage points above the others between 2001 and 2025, even after adjustments for American interest rates and risk premiums. The fiscal impulse explains fluctuations, but not the high level, which is due to structural factors such as post-fixed debt, targeted credit and banking spread.

Banco do Brasil cut its profit projection for 2026 in half, from R$18-22 billion to R$9-11 billion, after default rates in agribusiness jumped from 4.84% to almost 7% in one year. The provision for losses reached R$21.2 billion in the quarter, of which R$12 billion comes from agriculture. Aprosoja Brasil criticized the statements made by the bank's president, while the Ibovespa closed down 0.43% and the dollar rose to R$5.65, the highest price since June 2026.

The IPCA registered 0.14% in October, below the 0.82% in September and market expectations. Food rose 1.04% on average, pressured by the weather, while electricity and gasoline helped to hold down the index. The government faces a challenge to close the year within the inflation target.

The price of ethanol rose up to 12.6% in Ribeirão Preto (SP), reaching R$4.39 per liter in the South zone, compared to R$3.90 last week.

Experts warn that prices could rise even further if the tax benefit is not extended after December 9th.

Amazonas' net consolidated debt reached R$7.53 billion in 2025, almost three times the value in 2020 (R$2.82 billion), according to the National Treasury. Since 2023, Aleam has authorized 12 credit operations totaling more than R$17 billion. Experts say the state is within the limit of the Fiscal Responsibility Law, but warn that interest could reduce resources for health, education and housing.
The soybean sector rejects Banco do Brasil's accusation that agribusiness would be responsible for a bad balance sheet, stating that rural producers are not deadbeats.
