Brazil 2027 Budget Proposal Sent to Congress

2027 Budget PLOA primary surplus fiscal framework Novo PAC

The Brazilian federal government has submitted its 2027 Annual Budget Law Project (PLOA) to Congress, projecting a primary surplus of R$ 18.6 billion when accounting for fiscal framework exceptions. While the gross surplus is estimated at R$ 83.4 billion (0.5% of GDP), the net result is lower due to the exclusion of R$ 64.8 billion in specific expenditures such as court-ordered payments (precatórios), health, and education.

The budget proposes R$ 133.8 billion in total investments, a significant increase from the R$ 110.8 billion planned for 2026. A major portion of this, R$ 61.5 billion, is earmarked for the New Growth Acceleration Program (Novo PAC), focusing on infrastructure, energy, and housing.

To manage fiscal stability, the proposal includes a trigger from the fiscal framework that limits the growth of public servant expenses to 0.6% above inflation, a measure necessitated by projected deficits in previous years. The government's projections rely on an optimistic GDP growth estimate of 2.46% for 2027, which contrasts with more conservative market forecasts. Additionally, the budget includes a 21% increase in funds for rural credit interest equalization compared to 2026 estimates.
