Brazil public sector deficit widens to R$55.3 bn in June 2026

Brazil's consolidated public sector recorded a primary deficit of R$55.3 billion in June 2026, up from R$47.1 billion a year earlier. Including interest payments of R$110.7 billion, the nominal deficit reached R$166 billion for the month.

Over the twelve months to June, the fiscal gap expanded to R$1.31 trillion, equal to 9.99 % of GDP. The country's gross public debt rose to 81.9 % of GDP (about R$10.8 trillion) and net debt (DLSP) stood at 68.5 % of GDP (around R$9 trillion). The increase was driven by a loss of R$9.3 billion on swap operations after a gain of R$20.9 billion in June 2025, and by record deficits at federal state‑owned enterprises, which posted a primary shortfall of R$7.8 billion in the first half of 2026.
