Brazil Flash: ”Government announces expenditure cuts to put fiscal accounts on track for meeting fiscal target and to create room for a lower SELIC”

Summary

The government announced today a restriction of R$ 55bn (1.25% of GDP) of expenditures budgeted for the year. We expect these expenditure cuts to be delivered and the fiscal target (primary surplus equal to R$ 139bn, around 3.2% of GDP) to be fulfilled by the end of the year.
